Hi all,<br>
From the Sapphire web site I read:<br>
Sapphire wants to take a fresh look at the Smalltalk philosophy and<br>
current implementations. The idea is to produce high quality<br>
open-source packages that will be loadable on a micro kernel.<br>
<br>
As some of you know, I was a Smalltalk fan&developer in the last<br>
twelve years. I have stopped working on smalltalk years ago... anyway,<br>
I am happy to look forward the Squeak Smalltalk Community from time to<br>
time.<br>
I have republished an article on my blog, posted by me on<br>
SqueakPeople, over 4 years ago:<br>

<br>
The reason of this republish is simple: I am very happy to see a<br>
Squeak code fork called "Sapphire" which share most of my thoughts.<br>
I do not love code forks, and I avoided carefully them while working<br>
for the Squeak Community.<br>
Anyway, after some discussion I have seen on the list, I think<br>
Sapphire is a good idea, and it should work nicely with Squeak main<br>
code trunk, and vice-versa.<br>
<br>
I will take a look to Sapphire, and you will find my throughts in the<br>
next months on my blog.<br>
You are free to leave comment on my blog.<br>
