Wasn't "Script X" Apple's failed attempt at this back in the early 90's? People found creating custom for every problem was unmaintainable. Each developer was encouraged to customize their own personal language, and work with syntax translators to work with group written code. Nightmare.
- erikj 9y agoI presume you are talking about ScriptX created by an Apple spin-off Kaleida Labs? I'm reading about it right now, and I don't see any specific features useful for language-oriented programming, not even Lisp-like macros. From what I can see it doesn't seem to encourage this approach to software development at all, it looks like some kind of Smalltalk derivative with multiple inheritance bolted on.
