i really like the idea of adding prototypes to squeak, but is there a way to add prototypes *and* keep classes?
I would say Mario Wolczko already proved this could be done when he implemented his Smalltalk emulator in Self. You can read about it if you start from the Self mirror, choose "this release" and then "documentation". The mirror is at:
http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/oocsb/self/index.html
Of course, this Smalltalk system is pretty "shallow" compared to Squeak and isn't as well integrated with Self as it could be, but it does show that prototypes and classes can live just fine in the same system.
