alt Hacker NewsWhile the article makes good points, I simply find it amazing that a programming user interface (with small changes) has been around for so long: I think kit was in 1983 that Xerox Special Information Systems provided me with a free 1 month Smalltalk license for my Xerox 1108 Lisp Machine. That Smalltalk interface is amazingly similar to Pharo Smalltalk which I still occasionally use.

I worked as a Smalltalk developer for a few years, and it spoiled to such an extent that I’ve tried to make an extension for IntelliJ to replicate the browser for Java development. Maybe I should revive that project, actually…

Eclipse, due to its evolution from Visual Age set of IDEs, coded in Smalltalk, also keeps a code browser view for Java that is like the Smalltalk one.
