Smalltalk offers several excellent features for LLM agents:

- Very small methods that function as standalone compilation units, enabling extremely fast compilation.

- Built-in, fast, and effective code browsing capabilities (e.g., listing senders, implementors, and instance variable users...). This makes it easy for the agent to extract only the required context from the system.

- Powerful runtime reflectivity and easily accessible debugging capabilities.

- A simple grammar with a more natural, language-like feel compared to Lisp.

- Natural sandboxing

If someone wants to try it out, both Glamorous Toolkit and plain Pharo have tooling that allows integration of both local and remote LLM services.

Some links to start off with:

Edit: I suppose the next step would be to teach an LLM about "moldable exceptions", https://arxiv.org/pdf/2409.00465 (PDF), have it create its own debuggers.
