Hilaire,<br>

I like very much the tone you give in that article. It is clear
enough for a wide audience, while not leaving out the important
ideas.<br>
<br>
I can not help wondering what is still missing for that very
article, together with the examples, to be an active essay itself,
running in the Smalltalk system. Erudite, Glamorous Toolkit,
StyleTextEditor, Morphic Projects are all pieces in that space. What
else is needed? How can we move forward?<br>
<br>
The Dynabook and Active Essays ideas are extremely important for me.
Cuis is becoming mature enough to be a good base for them. (Although
I think that vector graphics is a must).<br>
<br>
I think that, as you suggest, writing active essays will require, in
addition to some natural language, and perhaps topic specific
jargon, good Smalltalk skills. But I believe that a casual reader of
an active essay should be able to get most of the ideas without
needing to understand the code, in the same way we can get a good
part of what a technical book is talking about, without looking at
the formulas.<br>
<br>
People are trying to do OpenScience / ReproducibleResearch with
Python Jupyter Notebooks. We can do much better than that!<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
