Hi Lex,
What replaces the controller loops in Morphic?

One of my questions is "what will happen to the Controller loop" with an event based Smalltalk"? I guess that it goes away and gets replaced by something like the NSApplication loop. I'll have to explore some event based Smalltalks to find out... What are you guys planning to do with the controller loops?
In Morphic, they're actually already gone. That's why you can scroll a text pane and have your BouncingAtomsMorph keep bouncing around while you do it. Of course, the logic for menus and for text highlighting and things like that, which take a long time to execute, are made more complicated because they have to store intermediate states in instance variables--the extra interactivity is not for free.
