Thanks for sharing your experience with working with Smalltalk.

I wonder in a parallel universe, a smalltalk one, what VCS would have been like? Would the "last version that worked" also just have been an object?

You've been given a mistaken impression of the Smalltalk-80 development process.

Changes were automatically logged to an external text file and could be recovered.

By the late '80s there was multi-user fine-grained version control: ENVY/Developer
