I love Pharo and occasionally explore it, but I worry that there are very few examples of applications developed with it. [0]The ones listed seem to be old(at least the last time i checked). This page is currently unavailable

Glamorous Toolkit[0] is pretty neat! More of something designed for making software on top of, but it's a pretty cool example of what's possible.

Thanks for sharing. I'll explore it.

Why is that only possible in Pharo? The concepts seem pretty language agnostic. Maybe I've mis-understood what it does but I can imagine a devtools plugin for Chrome/Firefox that basically does effectively

    if (x instanceof foo) ShowUIForFoo
    else if (x isnstanceof bar) ShowUIForBar
    ...

And then let you register your object UIs so they show up in the debugger.
