Hi, this is really interesting! To have a simpler text model and UI. I recall Safara, in squeaksource. Lukas and a student worked on a nice text model. Worth checking it out. Fernando On Fri, Feb 15, 2013 at 12:29 AM, Sean P. DeNigris <sean@clipperadams.com>wrote:
Thanks again for tackling this! I'm definitely available to collaborate :)

Do you think that presenting any letter with real object (not just character) is sufficient for modern computers? I think not. Of course such model significantly simplified all logic around text layout stuff. But I think it is too expensive.
I don't know how efficient it would be, but how much text do we really layout at once? If it makes the code simpler and more beautiful, then it would be my starting point. Doing otherwise is premature optimization.

Another thing which I always not agree is introduction scripting languages inside smalltalk... [but] I like what they do inside rules. It is really simple and understandable code.
Yes, I think a special scripting language would be way outside the bounds of Pharo, but the rules idea simplicity of that style could be great for us :)
Cheers, Sean
