This is what Smalltalk is all about, and it has been like that since it’s origin: you basically program in the debugger, you program running, you change something, you proceed the debugger, etc. That’s why technics like TDD, refactoring, and others were developed in Smalltalk and just later translated to other languages (and always lacking, since no one reproduces the live programming experience 100%). As the time passed, attention has moved to other languages and most people not ignores what it was to program like that. But there are still some implementations around: I work with Pharo (https://pharo.org), and I can to say is all what you ask for in this post :)
for another (other than Tuxedo) EU based solution: https://slimbook.es/en/
(They are at Valencia, Spain).
But I have no about idea its quality as I have never tried one.
I have a tuxedo. I love it. But…
- it supports just its own version of linux (TuxedoOS, based on KDE) and Ubuntu. I use Majaro and I have to tweak it the same way as I would do it with any other non-linux computer.
- I had a problem with sound and needed to send the computer to germany so they were able to check at it and fix it (replacing the mother board). Client service is good, but I live at 1w distance of germany (france)… what happens with people living far away?
- Is certainly good… but not cheap :)
