[squeak-dev] Survey: what do you do with Squeak, what do you *want* to do?

StackExchange is my goto for Squeak questions. The mailing lists cannot compare. Also, the last several years have been very tough economically. Just scratching to survive, no time to code.


Currently coding an application in Seaside.


For wider use, you need mindshare, that means the CLI centric Linux crowd and incorporate the language/cogvm into everyday Linux development models .
However, the GUI is essential for other dev types; I am not knocking the GUI, just recognizing need for different users. 


Squeak is a blast, though. It is the first (besides SQL) non-algol language I have used and I am never looking back.


I hope, as time frees up, to work on the REPL and decoupling the Squeak from Morphic/MVC . Would love to create an X Desktop with it.


Good luck.

At the latest board meeting we got to discussing the relative quietness of the squeak list(s) recently. We were wondering what you folks out there are doing with Squeak, what you'd like to be able to use it for, the things that you think would be important to improve it for wider use and so on. 

Please, whether you're a frequent user or an occasional look-at-the-list type, take a moment to let us know your opinions.

What do you use Squeak for?
If you don't use Squeak, why not?
If you used Squeak in the past and don't now, what pulled you away?

What does Squeak lack that you think might make you use it for 'regular' development?
What things are too hard or annoying to do?
What would you like to be able to use Squeak for?
