As many of us did.
What I had not previously considered was how the novelty of gui software and the vision may have overwhelmed more mundane concerns.
Seems like — even with the image, even with the ST80 language — there could have been a coarse separation into layers of functionality, and that would have been enough to address some of the practical concerns.
But that was mundane, not fun.
- Rochus 6y agoThere were namespaces (aka environments).
- igouy 6y agoMy speculation was what it might have been like if PARC ST80 had a coarse separation into layers of functionality before release to the world. If PARC ST80 had provided both: no-gui no-ide boostrapped image + libs :and: bootstrapped image + libs + gui :and: bootstrapped image + libs + gui + tools :as separate images.
