Just noticed this <http://squeak.funkencode.com/> after some Googling about:


*Too many easy things are hard and hard things are for all practical
purposes impossible. Case in point - XMPP aka Jabber which has exploded into
widespread use<http://www.meshverse.com/2008/01/23/server-commoditization-the-coming-boom/>.
Yes there are 2 Smalltalk Jabber clients available but they are sorely
lacking. Secure authentication isn’t built-in and rolling your own with the
Cryptography package is not trivial. In contrast, in the world of Ruby, the
robust XMPP4R and the drop-dead easy
Jabber::Simple<http://romeda.org/blog/2006/11/announcing-jabbersimple.html>built
upon it have emerged as defacto standards from a pool of a half dozen
or so implementations. However these problems are not due to some inherent
flaw in Smalltalk but rather another facet of its Achilles Heel.*
