+1 for the GTInspector, and the Moose tools/paradigm too (Roassal, Glamour, Moose and others), all that stuff is great step forward and could arouse interest from doubtful people. I remember myself failing to show some collegues at work how the smalltalk system could be a cool tool to play with, even for people sticking on dotNet, Delphi or C++. And sometimes they remember that too ... (Smalltalk? Squeak? -at that time- that blinking and poping toy ? hahaha ...) :( Still working on that like a flea (?- a morpion)
Morphic removed is good news - clumsy, buggy and weird - but I don't understand the relationship with GTInspector ? I googled about that and just found a post of you about Bloc in the mailing list, it sounds like a good idea, and I'm sure you'll manage to do it cleanly, but I'm also very curious about that: big bang or dependency injection and small steps? other patterns, techniques ? a link on Bloc ? I'm also curious about Spec and it's status after it's change to GPL ? Will it be supported in the future ? What are the alternatives ?
Yes, apparently spec is distributed now under a dual licence : MIT when used as an external library (not sure what it means when you use Smalltalk) and GPL when integrated in an IDE ... I think that this is a potential problem for Pharo. https://github.com/spec-framework/spec#license -- Serge Stinckwich UCBN & UMI UMMISCO 209 (IRD/UPMC) Every DSL ends up being Smalltalk http://www.doesnotunderstand.org/
