@nytpu my theory is that for a long time unix has been such an amazing text environment that opens emacs up to being lispy in so many other environments. Smalltalk has always seemed like a very shiny box to be locked into.

@otfrom Yeah, being able to work with any text is nice. All I want is something like the Smalltalk system browser where I don't need to worry about organizing or navigating files and can sort code however most makes sense, like a full tree of methods, or everything in a package, or whatever.

@nytpu I'm wondering if some of that is coming with some of the modable emacs ideas and things that can be done with tree-sitter in emacs 29. I'd like to have the best of both worlds.

Having strong tools to fall back on with text was really good for working in novel areas.
