at the moment I am exploring Io as an embedded language to work with a language such as XSB+Logtalk<br> http://www.iolanguage.com/about/<br>while getting back to some Squeak and VW<br><br>I have no luck sompileing GNU St ( but GNU Prolog compiles fine and runs fine with Logtalk ); what looks just excellent for embedding is Smalltalk/X<br><br>I am also trying to keep an eye on the Parrot vm and Plan9<br><br>Sadly, I can never get Slate to compile on my Win32 GNU box ... when most anything that doesn't interest me compiles fine ( configure + make ) if I have the patience.<br><br>Speaking of patience: bring up a Cecil image ! But Craig's ideas are terrific about evolving a project towards being safe. Rather than being forced, as seems to be coming to future ECMAScript and Python ....<br><br>Btw, Io compiles fine for me, but not the IoFE or so-called IoFE2 do not.<br><br>It is such a pleasure that so many packages load fine into Squeak
