     Does your planning also include formalization of a "Smalltalkish" 
     mechanism for communication and syncronization between various 
     headless embedded images on distributed hardware? I am anxious to see 
     the evolution of an easier way doing development in this area.
     
     Also, have you given any thought to the development of automatic 
     generation of simulators for embedded software? I am wondering is 
     whether it is possible to develop a mechanism which would enable a 
     component to generate and return a simulator description in answer to 
     a message like component>>simulator. It can sometimes be a bit of a 
     pain to develop simulators and they tend to get out of date if not 
     constantly watched.

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.
