Hi andreas,

especially because when I started my PhD there was no free smalltalk 
and I was not even aware that it was cool. So I did eveyrthing in 
Scheme+OO+MOP, five years later I would have used python or Java. 
Apparently manager do not understand the power of a community and 
teachers/researchers.
I feel sad. That's why Squeak will attract more and more people and is 
going in the right direction: moving.

I always wonder why the obvious is not that obvious for others :). So I 
hope that we will be able to help the VW engineering team because we 
need a strong and conquering VW. Imagine even a trial version for a 
programming language...."guys we have to code fast because after it 
does not work".

in VW mailing-list I heard that the libertyBasic has some thousand of 
users and that it is written in VW. This is nice to see that.
