I've been delightedly toying with Squeak, Pharo, and Dolphin (as well as GNU Smalltalk, which is an anti-example, of course) for some time.
I cope with my day job by pretending that SQL Server is a Smalltalk.
- stcredzero 10y agoWe had a nice discussion about this at Camp Smalltalk back in the day. In Smalltalk, everything is an Object, and we even use Objects to define Objects. In a proper relational server, everything is a table, and the tables are themselves defined using tables. SQL database servers are also very dynamic and everything is changeable at runtime, until you start restricting things. Even that last part is parallel to Smalltalk. There are some things you can do as an advanced VisualWorks developer that look like queries of the codebase. You can search on one predicate like "sender of #message:" and take the intersection of that with another search, and have that pop up as a custom browser.
