A computer-implemented method for providing an informal interface and a formal interface to a computing application using a computer is provided. The informal interface includes first routines, the first routines using an informal input format. The method also includes providing a formal interface using the computer, where the formal interface includes second routines. The second routines support developer functionality, and the second routines using a formal input format. The method includes receiving a first input having a first routine input format, the first routine input format complying with the informal input format, or a second input having a second routine input format, the second routine input format complying with the formal input format. The method includes processing the received first input or the received second input and performing a computing operation based on the processing.

Dual programming interface

A device may provide an interface for an interactive programming environment and may receive a command to display information about an object. The device may provide, based on the command, the information about the object, using: a first display interface that presents the information about the object in a first format that is applicable to users of the object. A second display interface, for the object, may present the information about the object in a second format, different from the first format, the second format including information about the object that is applicable to authors of the class or to authors of subclasses corresponding to the object. The first and second display interface may present the information, about the object, based on a state of the object and/or based on a display section of the information (e.g., certain information may be presented in a header section of the display).
