The meaning of live coding is quite specific, I mean, there is toplap and even a whole conference on it coming up. Gilad Bracha likes to push live programming in smalltalk via his newspeak work. No time travel though, which I don't think is supported by any smalltalk environment yet (you can change code via fix and continue, or objects via direct manipulation, but code changes do not update objects retroactively). So the Bret Victor style of live programming probably isn't supportable (without changes to be model/runtime). |

Can you explain what you mean by that?
iirc You can step back through the execution stack in the debugger, change code or variable values; and when you resume the new code is used and the new values are used.
