New Directions in Programming Environments: Extensible Software
If we want software that can be adapted to our needs on the long run, extensibility is a main requirement. For a long time, extensibility has been in conflict with stability and/or efficiency. This situation has changed with recent software technologies. Thetools provided by software technology however must be complementedby a design which exploits their facilities for extensibility. We illustrate this using Voyager, a portable data analysis system basedon Oberon
