Until I came upon this thread, I never knew you could do live coding in Python and C/C++. And I was a professional C/C++ programmer for over 15 years! It is certainly a well-kept secret. I have found very little information on the web about doing live coding in these languages (in fact, none). This leads me to believe that the vast majority of Python and C/C++ developers don't know about, or don't do, live coding. Whether it's "easy" is rather subjective. I suspect it's not as easy nor as convenient as in Pharo. If it were, then live coding ought to be much more prevalent in the Python and C/C++ communities. After all, what developer doesn't want to improve their productivity or increase their velocity of development? The key differentiator here, I think, is that live coding is baked into Pharo/Smalltalk, thus making it natural to use. It is not natural for Python and C/C++ programmers. It would be difficult to convince the IT industry to adopt live coding en masse. -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
