- igouy 3y agoYour "has to write code in a small text area, viewing like 4 lines at the time" is a silly exaggeration. The text area is likely resizable and scrollable. Their "if your method in Smalltalk is 4 lines you're doing something wrong" is a silly exaggeration. 'Smalltalk "programs" are ensembles of objects, distributed throughout the class hierarchy, that work together by means of message passing produce computations.' Individual methods tend to be small and without a single large program text beginners had problems finding "the program".
