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.

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.

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,
