- TuringTest 9y agoYes, but they are only available for a few languages, and they're not a tool that is recognized as beneficial to programming in the large, like for example IDEs are. Moreover, having direct introspection of a model stored in a local notebook is still quite limited with respect to having it in the whole environment like Smalltalk or HyperCard did. There are a few systems trying to explore that "structure of the project" approach, like Leo Editor or the Smallest Federated Wiki which could be a better basis for a "Inventing on principle" tool.
