Another spec question

Is it correct to speculate that Pharo spec is based on VisualWorks spec?
If so, can someone please elaborate?
Thanks,

kind of but not really at the end.

Spec uses ValueHolder and composable component and an application model and have a kind of "declarative way"
but at the end it is more dynamic than just a litteral array (the array is generated).

Hi Paul,

it has some relations to VW, but really only from quite afar, in my opinion. For information on the rationale behind it I recommend you have a look at our paper, published here: http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=2448963.2448965  and freely available here: http://hal.inria.fr/hal-00759030/
