These are not mutually exclusive. What we're doing now by harnessing external libraries is prototyping - we're on the first step of "make it work, make it right, make it fast" ( and maybe getting sone #3 for free ;) ). Of course ultimately, we would like turtles all the way down, but relying on the already-done work of others gives us leverage, allowing us to focus our limited resources on the key things that have /never been done before/ - our unique contribution to the future of computing. When time and resources allow, we are free to come back and write from Scratch in Smalltalk, especially since there is a nice abstraction layer in between. ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Fwd-do-you-know-what-is-this-tp4681962p4682107.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
