Great. There is nothing like Squeak in that arena, that's where it
belongs IMO.

I'm building on top of Squeak. The base you propose, a medium for
personal dynamic media, is exactly what I need to be maintained. On top
of that I'm developing a very dynamic and rather ambitious musical
composition environment. It is a slow-paced long-term project, steadily
evolved for almost ten years now (although it did not start in Squeak).
My main need is that Squeak remains mostly backward-compatible, as it
currently is (I'm talking about the trunk).
At the moment the only sore point I have is the lack of MIDI support in
the linux VM.
Otherwise, rather pleased at the current spirit in squeak-dev.
best,
Stef
