basic organization with GST ?

Hi again, a brain-dead question I'm afraid :)

What's the canonical way to develop in GST ? There are sections in the
manual about the REPL, PackageLoader, package.xml…
Do you have an image-based workflow ? Code in files and re-build an
image from scratch with a makefile and gst-load ? Periodically reload
packages into the REPL ? Do you explicit file dependancies with
PackageLoader calls like require 'that/module' in Ruby ?

I feel halfway between Ruby and Squeak and I don't know how I'm
supposed to juggle between the two :)

Yes.

Very rarely.

This instead yes.

Images are for:

- debugging of packages (REPL; they're not needed for SUnit)

- debugging of scripts and possibly deployment (you preload the
packages so that the script loads faster).  But scripts should be
autonomous and so they should load the packages.
