One of the Smalltalk ideas I wish we had more of is the programming language as iterative moves towards a *non-programming* goal www.cs.virginia.edu/~evans/cs655...

A quote from "Design Principles Behind Smalltalk" by Dan Ingalls:

"Our work has followed a two- to four-year cycle that can be seen to parallel the scientific method:

- Build an application program within the current system (make an observation)
- Based on that experience, redesign the language (formulate a theory)
- Build a new system based on the new design (make a prediction that can be tested)"

"The purpose of the Smalltalk project is to provide computer support for the creative spirit in everyone."
