Hi,

I am looking at doing a big Erlang project, but I want to do all the GUI 
stuff in Smalltalk/Squeak.  I want the system to be reflective as well, so 
the best is if Squeak can talk directly to Erlang via Erlang's own message 
passing style.

Can Spoon help with this, or is it expecting Smalltalk objects to be on the 
other side?

And once I can send and receive the messages in Squeak then the question 
comes up about 'why not just do it all in Squeak?'.  The only two things I 
can think of are: (1) speed and (2) Erlang makes sure you don't try to 
modify state (since there are potentially thousands of threads and no 
locking mechanisms), while in Squeak it would have to be discipline.
