It will be a new Behaviour language that is Smalltalk based rather than LISP
based.  The tools will follow the same "style" as the standard Smalltalk
development environment.

I'm not sure how much of a Squeak subset will be required/desired/included
but I am planning on using as much of a Smalltalkish syntax as possible.

My job these days involves working on an embedded Java project in a VxWorks
environment (see http://www.audesi.com) ... has there been any work towards
a headless, embedded real-time Squeak?  This is another project that would
be interesting to pursue.
