I think a supercharger changes a passenger car engine qualitatively too!

So are there plans to copy GT/moldable development somewhere outside of Pharo/Smalltalk?

Moldable Development is not specific to Smalltalk. We already show how it works for other languages. Some ideas are already inspiring other environments, like Clerk.

In the meantime, consider GT as an extensive blueprint of what's possible. If there is one thing we learnt is that the technology is the smallest investment. The real investment is in learning how to exploit the idea of contextual tools for solving hard problems. That's what takes the longest, but the difference to how those problems are approached today can be measured in orders of magnitude.
