@neauoire carcinization, but as it applies to smalltalk, smalltalkinization - the tendency of all programming environments to evolve towards smalltalk80

It always starts with just wanting to pass some messages. Next thing you know you made a browser with widgets and everything!

@neauoire I once was experimenting with a preprocessor for C to streamline dynamicly loaded and dispatched objects... and I realized at some point I was basically reinventing Objective C... and still kept going for a little while just to see...

@neauoire Set it aside once I got the basic stuff working because it really was looking a lot like this had already been done.

But it was fun to have objects in shared libraries loaded and interacted with -- it was, iirc, one my first experiments with dlopen() and friends, back in the late 90s.

@avi because I've already got a perfectly working smalltalk already :mac:

@pixelherodev I've already got smalltalk, it's just the design seems to always want to converge

@neauoire do it do it .ake smalltalk (I'm saying this cause I was planning on implementing smalltalk (or a similar oldschool OOP language) myself

@neauoire smalltalk itself is simply hinting at the ur-ux archetype buried in our psyche that will continue to emerge until it is fully realized. You can’t kill an idea.
