Some more about it here:

It seems it was a precursor to smalltalk, and is properly known as LC
squared.
LC2 seems a good search term, leading to this interesting paper
"building dynamic programs" by Peter Brown:

I like the idea of a program having "loose ends" that a programmer fills
in while it's running, and then running a checker that makes sure that
the loose ends are tied up before passing the finished program on to the
end user.
