Are you planning on keeping Brooks' exact same Behavior Language LISPy syntax and implementation or do you plan to create a new Smalltalk-based Behavior Language?
It will be a new Behaviour language that is Smalltalk based rather than LISP based. The tools will follow the same "style" as the standard Smalltalk development environment.
If you were to create a SVM that ran a subset of Squeak, this could be a very exciting thing for a lot of folks (not so much the subsumption architecture per se but the frameworks and mechanisms for generating the embeddable VM).
I'm not sure how much of a Squeak subset will be required/desired/included but I am planning on using as much of a Smalltalkish syntax as possible.
My job these days involves working on an embedded Java project in a VxWorks environment (see http://www.audesi.com) ... has there been any work towards a headless, embedded real-time Squeak? This is another project that would be interesting to pursue.
