Old Basics had quite impressive debugging features. It had breakpoints (STOP), you were able to inspect and change the content of the variables, change code before or after the breakpoint - and even on the same line - and then CONTINUE from

A significant weakness of Lively is missing proper debugger. Amber ( https://amber-lang.net/ ) has one (but it is not plain JavaScript). The next complaint is that you need to host it. Ideally, the system should have a good d

Original Smalltalk was always "full screen" so it is strange to argue this way. Anyway, there are still Dolphin Smalltalk and Smallltalk/X (jv-branch) under active development that use OS windows manager. Pharo will allow wor

There is no magic; it does not know it for sure. But unlike the original MethodFinder, now the classes themselves decide about the approved selectors. In Squeak, the tool itself had a long whitelist of approved selectors. Moreover, the blac

MethodFinder in Pharo is a litte bit smarter and does not use the list of known functions (unlike Squeak).

Is it legal to distribute this Smalltakl-80 V2 image and sources or do you expect it to be just an abandonware?

During bootstrap, the hosting Pharo serves a virtual object memory with object stubs and provides an AST interpreter. It is a quite complicated process. It is possible to rewrite it to another language but not easy.

Pharo is now bootstrapped entirely from the text source files. To do it, you need already working Pharo, so there is a chicken-egg problem...

Yes. It is actually very easy to extend Smalltalk to support private/protected methods (message bytecode based on the protocols, for example). But Smalltalk would need to do these checks in run-time because all message sends are late-b

In Smalltalk, the only way how to communicate to objects is by sending messages. The way how they react on the messages is full the responsibility of objects, and they can refuse them. This decision is strictly late-bound because all messag
