Jacqueline: The real question that needs to be answered is, why now, with the tools of today, like Squeak or Croquet, would I want to resort to "coding" using the grunts and groans of yesteryear? I'm sorry for those many years you and others have toiled away trying to master those alien techniques "required" to make a machine do relatively simple things. I don't have a lot of years left to start from the point people like you started at many years ago. We should have come farther by now and should not be satisfied with anything other than those tools which save us the most time and energy. I made no insult to any person by suggesting that standard "programming" is the equivalent of communication using a series of grunts and groans. The fact that inventors of "modern" computer languages do not see beyond those methods which have already spent the lives of millions of deskbound slaves really constitutes the major technological insult. It is the required use of languages like these that force users like us to become "dumbed down". Need we submit to this kind of humiliation?
