<DIV>If you watch for the <p> documentation the first thing you see is that it is an html representation of a paragraph. Well to represent a paragraph in seaside we used the smalltalk culture that is to just say the name of the thing (I mean literally).</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Smalltalk has this culture of enhancing readability paying some price in "writeabilty" but is nothing any decent autocompleter won't help you with.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I think the trade of is clever because, used properly, makes easier to have a nice flow of newbies who can feel it intuitive.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>It makes easier for you to pretend that the virtual object is a real object.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>besides that's why looking smalltalk code resulting from that is beautiful when compared with resulting html code (which hurts in your eye and brain)</DIV>

<DIV>The same probably apply to an abstraction to other stuff like javascript, squeak's own VM's C or whatever stuff you wrap with it</DIV>
