From a first look at the collection libraries, it seems to me that there is a LOT of bloat. Really really a LOT. I bet that Ocaml's collections can do the same things with an order of magnitude of less of code.
Easy enough to demonstrate, at least for starters. Show us a particularly bad example in Squeak and the same thing in OCaml. Then how you would recommend Smalltalk change. Stephen and his pals redesigned the whole collection system in traits to demonstrte their theory. (BTW, anyone know how to turn traits visible in the browser?)
