> Open, highly discoverable

I made a post under eggy's comment that kind of touched on this, but I don't think Smalltalk (Pharo, at least) is particularly discoverable. It seems like a highly bureaucratic language when it comes to making new classes or adding methods to an existing class, and in many cases I poked around and never really found what I was supposed to do. From what I've seen, Smalltalk is highly inspectable, but no more discoverable than any other language.

Never used a less bureaucratic language. And am using it everyday for business.

Shortest path between my ideas and a running implementation = Pharo.

Ok, took me a couple years to become decent enough for my needs but this is one of the best decisions I ever made.

This is the comparative advantage of Smalltalk

What is highly bureaucratic about going to a system browser and typing away?
