what smalltalk didn't quite do is the instantaneous view of the results of your code changes. Seeing the result of your changes in Light Table is like updating a cell in a spreadsheet. Smalltalk (I'm guessing), would involve switching to the executing window or hitting a play/continue button. A subtle difference, but it takes the immediacy to the next level.
No, it was, is or at least can be, instantaneous where that makes sense.
Autotest, which is now built-in to Pharo, will automatically run unit tests relevant to the method you're editing when you save the method, so you can get pretty close. http://magaloma.blogspot.com/2010/06/autotest-for-pharo.html
