Rants like this about languages which have little/no code snippets are the worst because they often sell you an idea w/o actually showing how it works in practice (because often times it doesn't work well in practice). talk is cheap, show me the fucking code, else don't waste my time.
- Philpax 1y agoThe post is about the conceptual underpinnings of the system, not about the specifics of the code. It would be like judging the Linux kernel by the UI running atop it: it's largely immaterial to the discussion at hand.
- Jtsummers 1y ago> Rants like this What about this makes you think it's a rant? Is the author making an impassioned plea for people to use Smalltalk? Is he going off on a tirade about something?
- kragen 1y agoThis article is more about the development environment than it is about the programming language, so it would be misleading to focus heavily on example code. A UI screencast video would be much more helpful.
