Hi Miguel, all,

Have you read this?

http://users.ipa.net/~dwighth/squeak/oopsla_squeak.html

Perhaps not directly useful. More a source of solace and sentiment from
others who also have a preferred development language.

Here is the relevant taster:

'Squeak is an open, highly-portable Smalltalk implementation whose virtual
machine is written entirely in Smalltalk, making it easy to debug, analyze,
and change. To achieve practical performance, a translator produces an
equivalent C program whose performance is comparable to commercial
Smalltalks.'

cheers,
