Stef,

Having lurked on this list for more than a year, and seeing you putting almost 
impossible amount of time and effort into this, I feel sad and will miss your 
posts but it's very understandable that you need to spend more time with your 
family and give more time to yourself and your research. Hope we will be able 
to play with your results (traits and more) in some other form even if not 
called Squeak. FWIW I believe there is quite a bit Smalltalk and other 
non-Java and non-.net environments need in terms of IDEs and features to 
attract new developers, it's hard, but hopefully development world will not 
be in the hands of 2 environments that are non dynamic (and almost the same) 
for the next 20 years. Thanks and most important, cheer up, enjoy your family 
and new work, Milan
