Jecel

I'd like as well to thank you for your work all these years and in
particular for this report looking back 28 years. Your historical
perspective is very valuable and I hope that the work you are now
going to focus on will be successful.

You say:

" I you can't add simplicity, only complexity."

So to have something simple you have to start from scratch.

I am looking forward to your work on a
"a very simple Smalltalk to run side by side with Squeak in the second
half of 2012"
