- projektfu 4y agoInteresting, how image-based development can make a big difference in comprehensibility at the expense of more complicated sharing. One thing I like about Smalltalk is I don't have to wonder what the process is to get to a certain place in the code very often. There's a lot less scaffolding and construction code than with a typical start-from-main program. Little pieces can be tested directly to see how they work.
