    Are you using Pharo already? If not, give it a go: https://pharo.org/

    For taking notes and stuff you'd otherwise do in Jupyter or Livebook, try GT: https://gtoolkit.com/

    It's not an OS, but you can just abstract over OS actions within either and keep them as your main interface, similar to how some people rarely leave Emacs.

    Having GUI tooling to inspect, debug and develop integrated in the execution environment is kind of Smalltalk's thing. It's like a Common Lisp with more clicking in that regard.

    It's rather neat, and means you can extend your development environment in the same way you develop your applications. If you want to extend the inspector for a particular type of object you can do that. Compared to writing plugins for Eclipse or IntelliJ it's a trivial exercise.

    GT does it too, though explicitly aimed at tool development rather than application development: https://gtoolkit.com/

    In a sense it's the original vibe coding environment.

    Nice set of features you have here, very similar to Smalltalk (particularly Pharo) ideals. Actually I'm also actively working on a Pharo VM simulator so I can ultimately get GToolkit[0], which I really like and is based on it, running in Python. Nothing published yet though, but can definitely get in touch via your project.

    Cool, reminds me somewhat of Glamorous Toolkit [1], another project I just found out about. Excited to give it a try, I love these sort of "explain a program as it's running" type tools.

    > I know to really use it, I have to learn to program it, but I am also of the mind basic functionality should be self explanatory. And pharo itself as the basis of this seems so convoluted and complex...

    We use Pharo as a programming language for building the system, and most extensions are expected to be written in it. It's possible to connect to other runtimes, like Python or JS, and extend the object inspector that works with remote objects using those languages. But overall, learning Pharo is a bit of a prerequisite. I certainly understand that it can appear foreign, but convoluted and complex are not an attributes I would associate with it :).

    Now, in GT, the environment is built from the ground up anew and it's different from classic interfaces found in Pharo or Cuis. And of course, it's different from typical development environment, too, because we wanted to build a different kind of interface in which visualization is a first class entity.

    Our community is indeed on Discord a lot, but we also host discussions on our GitHub repository: https://github.com/feenkcom/gtoolkit/discussions

    In any case, I am happy you find the need for "a great knowledge base and data visualization" relevant and useful.

    The best Smalltalk these days is GlamorousToolkit: https://gtoolkit.com/

    It has a sort of git in it, so you can easily "rollback" your image to previous states. So going back and forth in history is trivial.
