Add to that list:
- better performance
- exception handling
- full block closures
- ENVY or something like it
It also would not hurt Squeak if some second organization would pop up to
add value (like Red Hat does for Linux). For example:
- do real QA
- provide documentation
- provide visibility
- collect and distribute a library of goodies & addons
I've also got my eyes on Disney Imagineering to see what real system they
realize in Squeak.
Go Squeak! ;-)
