In a discussion of "next gen" development features, Wenser Moise makes an odd Smalltalk reference
I think%A0a major cause of the delay in this revolution is that both C/C++ relied on preprocessors and headers. Some historical languages like Smalltalk actually had this support. Fortunately, more modern languages like C#, Java and VB are standalone files, one class per file, with a little or no preprocessing support. This enables easy parsing.
Historical language? Heh. He needs to have a look here. Source code in a db? Yawn, been there, done that - for years. I'm not sure about his parse node thing though. I just don't see direct representation being more meaningful than text....
