CodeCity started out in VisualWorks, but issues around Cincom's licensing have driven the development efforts to Pharo. The toolset is not open source, which means that people are choosing to use Pharo for proprietary, commercially oriented work.

If you want to see the tools in action, grab the video (wmv format)

Maybe that last 18 months of college (way, way back when :) ) was good for me:

But today new research being released at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association reports that college students who binge drink are happier than those who do not.

Select the second option, and you'll see all the breakpoints you have in effect:

From there, you can clear all of them, deactivate them, and explore the code that has them:

mariano has been extending Fuel to give Pharo the same kinds of code tools that VisualWorks (and ObjectStudio) have with parcels:

Right now the common way to export and import packages in Pharo is by using Monticello (or doing fileOut, which is almost the same). This ends up exporting the source code and then compiling it during the import. Tanker is a tool to export and import packages of code in a binary way using Fuel serializer. Using Fuel enables us to avoid having to compile from sources during the import. Tanker understands the concept of “packages of code” and the correct integration of them into the system. For example, it initializes classes, sends notifications, etc.

If you follow the link there's a lot more explanation, as well as usage instructions. There's also a screencast available
