- atemerev 10y agoNo. But it is immensely enlightening. Spend 2-3 days learning the basics and your programming life will never be the same.

- atemerev 10y ago— The app you develop and the IDE is a single persistent image. On deployment, you can strip away the IDE part. — This means: no source files (code is stored as OO dataset), no need to save / recompile / etc. — No keywords. All control flow is modeled as methods. Like: (a > b) ifTrue: doSomething else: doSomethingElse. — Everything is dynamic and hackable. Want to redefine the meaning of true and false? Want to change inheritance hierarchy at runtime? Want to write self-modifying code? Be my guest. For everything, source code is accessible and modifiable. At runtime (there is no compile time). And much more.
