Actually, Croquet (Cobalt) development process
suspended for a time in using Squeak and Smalltalk
language, but has a new encouraging breath on top
of JavaScript in the form of <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.virtualworldframework.com">Virtual
World Framework</a>.<br>
</div>
The latest stable Croquet code based on Smalltalk is
available at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://code.google.com/p/openqwaq/">OpenQwaq
project</a> and it's derivatives (there is a
parent closed source version <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://3dicc.com/">3D
ICC's Immersive Terf</a>). But, the current open
source OpenQwaq home base image has not been updated
for two years, it is still Squeak 4.1, and is needed
to be updated.<br>
</div>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.opencobalt.org/">OpenCobalt</a>
stable version is based on Squeak 3.8 home base image,
and unstable is on Squeak 4.2 (as I know).<br>
</div>
The project <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.krestianstvo.org">Krestianstvo</a>
(which I maintain and currently working on) from the
second version is based on OpenQwaq, it is not add any
modifications to the Croquet architecture itself. The
latest changes (April 2013) I have made is a CouchDB
storage driver for OpenQwaq and the corresponding
Seaside application for administrative tasks for running
own virtual world server, as a replacement for the
default ODBC/MySQL and PHP backend (soon I'll post more
about that on the project's site). <br>
</div>
Some time ago Matthew Fulmer had an attempt to exclude the
Croquet core (aka TeaTime) from the base image, but the
project<span id="result_box" class="" lang="en"> is still
in a development, as I know.<br>
<br>
</span></div>
<span id="result_box" class="" lang="en">So, Croquet is
alive and exists on different implementations and
platforms, </span>but more actively developed on
JavaScript for now (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
