Moldable Development is a way of programming through contextual tools. This is a case study showing how thousands of contextual tools can coexist in a unified development environme…

I am glad that AI provides what you are looking for. I'd still be interested if you have a specific point you disagree with in relation to what I wrote above and in particular, wha…

Great! :)

Sure. Those are technical details. But ask yourself: how many things have been expressed this way? For example, what about security? Business domain documentation? Performance? Arc…

Please do feel free to email! Or contact me on social media.

Thanks for the suggestion. orgmode is certainly interesting, but again, its goal is a (small) subset of what is achievable with GT :). And as you say, even that is hard for beginne…

No, AI is not Moldable Development. AI can help Moldable Development (mostly as an optimization). Moldable Development is first and foremost about the interface. AI is an engine. T…

Thanks for the feedback. And for the kind words. >The only problem is that they seem to get unwieldy after a certain point. The view of all the different tools / libraries that com…

Consider joining us on Discord to look into more details :)

Nice summary! Indeed, we regard software engineering as being primarily decision making. This is a stark departure from the typical perception of software engineering as a construc…

Few green field, but that's not because of the technology merits.

I am not sure why you are saying that I am not paying attention to how AI is impacting software development. I just pointed you to a chapter that shows that it's not a competitor a…

Thanks for the clarification! I am sorry for the confusion. I am glad you found the demos interesting. I’d be interested what made them attractive from your point of view.

Are you referring to Smalltalk here or Glamorous Toolkit? :)

Well, I have seen reasonably important systems being written in Smalltalk, but these were not advertised too publicly because... well, they were considered a competitive advantage …

Glamorous Toolkit is built in Smalltalk, but it is not intended for you to build systems using Smalltalk. It is a technology for building development environments for your systems.…

In the meantime, you can use Lepiter pages and program Python from there and inspect Python objects with inspector views defined either in Python or in Pharo :).

You seem to consider LLMs for their ability to generate code and consider it to be 10x an improvement over not using them. Still, even assuming this is correct (which is not yet an…

That's an interesting way of putting it! Thanks.

I am not sure what you mean exactly. GT works on all desktop OSes (and on Android). It works with Git for all sources. It can interoperate with the file system. It works with other…

Indeed :). Thanks for watching. What do you think of it?

Interesting. What operating system were you on?

It certainly can :). In fact, you might not need MCP for that either. There already exist programmable abilities to work with LLMs within the environment.
