Also, I came across this interesting statement "The Smalltalk archives at UIUC will soon contain a 'Style Checker' tool that detects classic Smalltalk bugs and points out possible errors according to some rules about error-prone coding styles." on the ByteSmiths web page. Does anyone know if this code exists somewhere?
This is the Smalllint tool from the Refactoring Browser. In the early days it was called the Style Checker. However, back then most of its checks were for bugs, so we renamed it to Smalllint. Now, most of the lint rules are style rules, so style checker would be a better name.
