Self has also live coding features.

This is new for computer science in the same way the refrigerator is new for storing food

Neither Self nor Pharo have live programming features. The IDEs are live, the code is dead. You can manipulate objects directly at run-time, but none of that goes back into code.

It is time to move beyond Smalltalk and Self-style reduced liveness.
