Litvinchouk) Newsgroups: comp.lang.smalltalk Subject: Future evolution of Smalltalk-80 Message-ID: Date: 9 Feb 90 15:05:25 GMT Sender: news@linus.UUCP Distribution: comp.lang.smalltalk Organization: The Mitre Corporation, Bedford, MA Lines: 39 I am writing a paper on Smalltalk-80, and would appreciate hearing about any references in the published literature dealing with potential future changes/enhancements for both the language and its environment. These can be anything from "official" ParcPlace plans to rank speculation. For example, does anyone know what the much-awaited color imaging model in Smalltalk will be like? Also, are there any plans to provide some kind of "Interface Builder" to facilitate developing user interfaces without so much MVC hacking? Thanx in advance!
