Is Gtoolkit only for Pharo?

[Kyllingene]

I took a glance at it and started installing, since I thought an all-in-one development environment would be nice; but as I looked a little deeper, it looks more and more like it is specifically for Pharo, but then again the Lepiter description mentions being a "multi-language notebook". Is that multi-lingual bit referring to something else, or does it support multiple programming languages? If it does, I'm assuming the other tools mostly don't apply, but it doesn't hurt to double-check.

Thanks for the question. GT is implemented in Pharo, and that's the first language it has full support for. However, GT is a platform to build tools. The second language it supports, is the language with which to build support for other languages.

There is analysis support for several languages. Some details here: https://gtoolkit.com/docs/analyzing-systems/

With the notebook part, we go a step further and we can connect to JavaScript or Python runtimes to execute code, and even debug the execution. You can read about that here: https://lepiter.io/feenk/introducing-lepiter--knowledge-management--e2p6apqsz5npq7m4xte0kkywn/

Does this address your question? What use case would you have in mind?

Ok, that makes sense; I think I was looking for a different sort of development platform, that this isn't trying to be. However, it is very elegant, and seems to do it's job well; keep up the good work!

Thanks for the feedback. May I ask what kind of platform would you be looking for? Also, what do you find elegant about GT?

My first thought was that it was a sort of super-IDE; develop the code, run it, publish it, all in one. I can't expect such a project to exist, but that's what my first impressions were.

I think GT has one of the most elegant UI's I've ever seen; it looks sleek and simple, and is really easy to use.
