Abstract

Much of the elegance and power of Smalltalk comes from its programming environment and tools, but despite the passage of more than 20 years, the Smalltalk browser is much the same today as when it was first introduced. We have extended this browser with features that dramatically improve its support for incremental programming by employing real-time analysis of the code being modified. We illustrate these improvements by example, and summarize the algorithms used to implement them efficiently.
