What no REPL? Check this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3067563/using-squeak-from-a-shell
"Works out of the box in Pharo 2.0. For prior versions (definitely works in 1.3 and 1.4), first file in https://gist.github.com/2602113"
I'm not saying it is not doable, if we have workspaces we can have something simple as a REPL (as your snippet shows).
But it is not as prominent as a workspace. And of course it doesn't come bundled in the core image :)
E.g. Think of the Javascript console in Chrome Developer Tools, where the console can work as a Workspace, a Transcript and an Inspector all in one.
Or, think of python or ruby's irb.
Nothing precludes us from having just that. Topez in Gemstone does just that no? Phil
