Theory: is #Emacs being “good enough” why no #Lisp has a fantastically integrated development environment (including GUI toolkit) like every extant Smalltalk implementation has? Because as far as I can tell, Lisp machines *did* have a Smalltalk-like environment, but since Emacs existed nobody bothered to try implementing an equivalently featureful environment after Lisp machines stopped being a thing
@nytpu i don't know if i should really like a special gui. E.g. with #pharo Smalltalk it just annoys me that they are always behind the technical development. I have a HDPI display and it is still not supported. The font rendering just looks like crap and annoys me so much that I just don't want to use #smalltalk. But see e.g. #clojure or visual-code in combination with #calva. I can start a REPL directly for a project and evaluate the code directly in the editor and..

#CuisSmalltalk has great scalable graphics and fonts now, apparently. I haven't had success installing other than #Squeak #Smalltalk though (but I don't need HiDPI).

@tetrislife @nytpu Cuis Smalltalk seems to be really cool. Looks great on HDPI too.
