Wonderful. :-)

Pragmatic Smalltalk is different from other dialects in that it's  
integrated into the Objective-C object system and is a file based  
programming language, unlike most other Smalltalk dialects. Therefore,  
there's not an IDE yet.

I personally currently use Emacs for editing. There's an Emacs mode  
for the file-based GNU Smalltalk, which gives you decent highlighting,  
but it has problems with indentation from time to time.

In the long run, an IDE for Pragmatic Smalltalk is planned, which is  
worked on by Nicolas and Quentin IIRC.

I'm just playing around with the AST classes in LanguageKit to build a  
decent pretty printer, which could be reused in a Pragmatic Smalltalk  
IDE, similar to the pretty printing capabilities which the Squeak  
Browser editor has. (Automatic pretty printing of entered source code  
when saving. Works good and guarantees consistent indentation. :-))  
Feel free to play with the source code, it's in /branches/guenther/ 
SmalltalkSandbox.

Best regards,
Günther
