New Aha! Beginning to see...
never post a recation before finishing the document!

We have only 2 things to worry about: That
things will never get back to normal, and that they already have.
New Totally self-contained objects...
I can't even begin to imagine what sort of CPU/network power it is going to take. Certainly things that we have today are not sufficient.

Cease to think in terms of objects driving one another. Start thinnking about them as really independent actors. Very hard to switch.

Word processor, for example...

A letter, a word, a phrase a paragraph. A word knows to show itself in red when it's not in dictionary. But, does the word show itself? Or do letters show themselves? Or do we somehow implement both at once? With a third party to judge between them? How is it going to work? I can't even see it conceptually.

New Re: Totally self-contained objects...
Hazarding a guess... the word is, by sending a message to each letter to make itself red.

New Re: Totally self-contained objects...
Why would a letter care to rmrmber redness? This is the old way.

I am thinking more of a red tinted-glass filter that word puts up when it's misspelled. So the letters can draw themselves any way they please, and the user would still see a cue.

New Re: Totally self-contained objects...
Well, objects could be told to accumulate and fuse, and then the whole thing can be told to be red. In fact the property of color need not even exist at the letter level, any more than a typeface does; only in specific representations does it have meaning.

New Ahead of the curve
The Smalltalkers have always been way ahead of the hardware curve.

Which is good - by the time they get it worked out, the hardware will arrive.

I also particularly like the comparison of current software development with Egyptian architecture and the characterization of the pyramids as a garbage dump with a lid.

I am out of the country for the duration of the Bush administration.
Please leave a message and I'll get back to you when democracy returns.
