Hi,
Thanks for the question :).
Indeed, the summary of Stef is quite good.
Here are some additions: - Indeed, Bloc gets stable. Recently, we learned that we can optimize the layouts even more and Alex Syrel will work on that in the next couple of weeks, but this will not impact users.
can't this be done later? I would prefer that making Bloc and Brick usable is the first target.
I can sympathize with that. We also want to get to a usable state as soon as possible.
However, we have a different way of prioritizing and this might seem somewhat counter intuitive. I strongly believe that some things cannot be rushed and that continuously investing in the underlying infrastructure pays off in the mid-term. So, when we see an opportunity to rephrase our understanding we take it earlier rather than later. This is one of these cases.
But it is clear (having spend 10 years in the Squeak communityâ¦) that there is a danger in that, too⦠will there ever be a point were you will *not* be able to do things better? Ah, I even gave a talk about that: https://www.slideshare.net/MarcusDenker/perfection-feedback-loops-or-why-wor... ;-) Marcus
