Is NeoSmalltalk running on mac os X? Because I want to have a look.
No, since I am implementing it from the transistor level up it only runs on special hardware. But the software will use an MIT-style license (like Slate and OpenCroquet) so if anyone is really interested they will be able to port it to Macs or PCs. Since these already have Squeak, I am not sure it would be worth the effort.
The hardware I am currently use has a very weak VGA output, but I should have a new one with TV output soon. That will make it easy for me to make a movie showing what is cool about Neo Smalltalk (which is still being implemented).
http://www.merlintec.com:8080/Software/ is extremely outdated, but I currently don't have any other description of the software.
http://www.merlintec.com/download/plurion.pdf has low level details, such as the bytecodes used and hardware blocks. There is still a lot missing, specially the more interesting parts about the object model in Neo.
On a slightly related subject: the other day Colin was asking me about my future hardware design (non Von Neumann) so I added a brief introduction to http://www.merlintec.com:8080/hardware/19
