I am giving a presentation in front of Inria engineers at the end of the month. Do you think your package could be ready at this time?

do you have a scenario that I can replay to show GT, right now I failed to do a sexy presentation and show the point
and this is something I want to be able to do.

Hi Sean,
Thanks for the kind words.
I am happy these tools raise excitement. The funny thing is that it is hard to convey the interestingness of GT in static pictures. Most often excitement comes from looks. Yet, take yours for example: there is absolutely nothing exciting about a couple of lists. But, when you start to use contextual details during inspection and extend the tools exactly at the point when the need occurs, the game changes radically.
Everyone spends these long hours digging through systems. Yet, most people don't like this at all (if you do not believe me, when was the last time you heard someone bragging about the last debugging session?). I think the reason is that until now, the experience was terrible. Digging through systems has to become a beautiful experience. We owe this to our future self and to the next generations.
The current GT is a step (ok, maybe two :)) forward, but there is lots to do in this direction. And I think this is one area in which Pharo can thrive and be radically different.
Cheers,Doru

And (of course!), the line objects have their own custom view so you can
dive in and break them down to the words they contain (as determined
separately by Tesseract).

This feels revolutionary. All the countless hours I've wasted digging
through C/C++ watch lists, Smalltalk inspectors, Ruby stdouts, etc are
flashing before my eyes... what will I do with all the time I save?! ;)

Cheers,
