Not everything in one big statement with nested blocks. You have the graphical layout and the connections and I would just like to describe that in a sequence of statements. Not in a hierarchy of nested blocks. Less implicit semantics. Sure. But as mentioned above for less complex cases it is the same. The initial effort you have to put into learning the Glamour DSL is still considerable. To give you an idea, with the Yes and no. You take an existing example as a template and change method names. There are many examples. E.g. a Two pane browser, a three pane browser, with and without text window and so on... With Glamour, you define the For a browser the data flow is often pretty standard. More simple examples which do something useful. Just to get the flavor of the DSL. A more complex one: An example where I can navigate a network. I see all the neighbors of a node (as a list and as graph). A node has a content window. Navigation buttons forth and back. Some real world examples outside the Smalltalk class hierarchy, for example a WordNet browser http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WordNet Thank you for answering and keeping up this interesting work. --Hannes
