#MoldableDevelopment is a systematic approach for understanding systems by means of custom tools that we construct for every development problem. #GToolkit is a moldable development environment designed to decrease the cost of custom tools: bit.ly/3BTSSxh @girba #InfoQ

This article 👇 offers an introduction to #MoldableDevelopment. It's written for a first time reader. It's not quite short, but it's not that long either (~4000 words). It has concrete examples, but also a little broader theory. xitter.cf/InfoQ/status/157466277… 1/

Spoiler: In #GToolkit a UI renderer and a language interpreter will live in different OS threads.

People seem to find the #Smalltalk syntax confusing. The confusion seems to stem from how words are separated by whitespace, and how sentences are ended with periods. 🤷

User is an unfortunate mechanism to test software. It only reports a small percentage of all errors and does not follow the script.

When you see a Promise what are the chances it is actually a Future?

If futures, options and promises reduce financial risk and let you sleep better - you are an asynchronous software engineer.

Smalltalk is a beautiful language and environment with the syntax fitting on a post card and the code from a punch card.

We are looking into optimizing the memory consumption of a visual element in #gtoolkit. How? Through a custom visualization, of course. Eg, elements can define shortcuts but most don’t do it. Simply sharing a default null object, in green, improves the situation dramatically.

We reworked the way to inspect a graphical scene in #gtoolkit, and we are looking for feedback. Please download the latest version from gtoolkit.com, press Alt+Shift and let us know how it feels below 👇. Pictures and movies are welcome, too.

The value of your software system today is given by its external functionality. Tomorrow, its value is given by how well you can to adapt it. This depends on your ability to understand the system’s internals enough to guide its evolution. That is software assessment.
