AI-Generated Books, Forth & Pharo, and Why I'm Back with Common Lisp

A notebook-style essay about stumbling upon AI-generated tech books (HiTeX Press, "Robert Johnson"), the realization that beautiful design doesn't equal working code, and the journey through Smalltalk chaos to the quiet stability of Common Lisp.

Includes thoughts on:
- The "end of the internet age"
- Why I avoid publicly traded companies
- AI in music, photography, and content moderation
- Why a REPL beats bouncing windows

Fake books → real lessons → building my own tools with CLOS and CLOG.

The Smalltalk System Browser has survived for 40 years.
That’s not an accident: it solves the context problem extremely well.
But the real friction in modern Smalltalk may lie elsewhere: the lack of composition between IDE tools.

Smalltalk’s Browser: Unbeatable, Yet Not Enough

The four-pane System Browser has shaped Smalltalk development for forty years. It’s still brilliant at providing context. But the real problem may not be the browser itself—it may be the lack of composition between the tools that surround it.

Sad to read the illustrator of the legendary Smalltalk balloon cover for Byte magazine, Robert Tinney, died.

For @pharoproject #Smalltalk #Pharo devs:
Love the rewrite engine
But hate the matching rules?
Try BPatterns project
The pattern as a block

En même temps, je n'ai pas fini de coder su SpecToplo, la nouvelle stack graphique de #pharo (eux là: @pharoproject )
Et c'est si agréable de coder des projets qui aide la communauté

You might know me as edcrypt from elsewhere.
Experimenting with migrating to my own place here.

I'm Dani's parent, happily married and smug about it, I like weird music, I work on tech.

#Pyramid for #Pharo is great for exploring the #Bloc API, and then factoring your UI code based on what you discovered

@pharoproject , ma découverte du jour. J’ai pensé rapidement à Java.

Apparemment Pharo est un projet universitaire français cherchant à innover dans le programmation orientée objet mais je ne suis pas sûr dans quelles applications logicielles ça se spécialise. Tout ce qui est visuel ?
