Hey Esteban! that is great! <div>We saw some windows on Smalltalks 2008 and we hope to see a full demo on Smalltalks 2009!

<br>
Mars is a world for Squeak (and all it's forks) builded as an MVC on<br>
top of Cocoa (OSX framework) and OmniBrowser.<br>
For that reason, Mars just runs on OSX environments.<br>
While this project has some similariries with SqueakGTK and wxSqueak,<br>
it has big differences:<br>
1) Mars is not a port of Cocoa for squeak, is just an MVC<br>
implementation who uses Cocoa. Why that "subtle" distinction? well,<br>
SqueakGTK is a full port of GTK+ library and for that reason, a little<br>
big a and a little too complex. I'm following simplicity as one of the<br>
project goals.<br>
2) Mars is a plugin, and will run in any fork of squeak, and OB-Mars<br>
(Mars world) will run in any fork of squeak who can load OmniBrowser.<br>
This is a big difference with wxSqueak, wich is a fork it self (and<br>
requires an special VM)<br>
<br>
And of course, while both efforts (SqueakGTK and wxWidgets) are cool,<br>
none of them can be executed (and won't ever be) in small<br>
environments, like the iphone, which is one of my main objectives<br>
(using John's new VM and Edgar's work on minimal image building)<br>
<br>
Mars is MIT and can be downloaded following instructions from here:<br>

<br>
DISCLAIMER: Right now, Mars is vere-very alpha stage (though it runs<br>
and can be used) and I would love any contribution in the form of: bug<br>
reports (there will be a lot now), feature requests, comments, and of<br>
course, code :)<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Esteban<br>
