What do you mean by "the way it should have been" ?
- wlievens 18y agoSmalltalk (at leas the flavor I used) stores code as a data structure rather than plain text. That same idea is at the core of the language workbench concept Fowler is championing. What the language workbench concept adds to that is that you can render and edit your "code" data structure in a multitude of languages. That includes graphical flow languages, for instance. One could take Smalltalk and take it to this step, too. I agree that right now it all looks like slideware, but I do think the concept has merit.
