VisualAge for Java is another example of a Smalltalk-inspired visual programming evnrionment that never quite caught on. It had a lot of cool advanced IDE features, particularly for its time. It was also slow and kind of crashy, a complex program in its own.
- seanmcdirmid 14y agoVisualAge Smalltalk begot VisualAge Java which then became Eclipse, although over the transition some things changed a lot (more interop, no images). I think in turn IBM got VisualAge from their acquisition of OTI; Dave Thomas has the history, you could ask him if you ever attend OOPSLA .
