Hehe, that (or similar) was allways on my mind. In the past I started a project I named SDA (Smalltalk Developer Assistant) focused on lot of things that may be shortened as "Code Generation" :) as Genexus does.
One more time, the lack of free time and the need of focus the time on payed projects did their work and the project is almost abandoned....but I agree that a tool that could do somethings automagically would help in 2 areas: 1. Attracting more people, and 2. Make the life of current Smalltalkers a bit more easy :) Germán. 2010/8/3 laurent laffont <laurent.laff...@gmail.com>: > On Mon, Aug 2, 2010 at 9:50 PM, Stéphane Ducasse <stephane.duca...@inria.fr> > wrote: >> >> Hi guys >> >> with the experience around the XMLRPC project, ESUG wants to change >> strategy to help growing business at the technical >> level.
