Hi --

I'm not really qualified to have an opinion on this but I've searched
around a bit and found interesting things:

These guys have used it for Genetic Algorithms

The next example wasn't written for Squeak, but it's still Smalltalk.
It's for sound and they interfaced to C (FFTW, etc).

Tiny, tiny example of singal processing with Squeak:

Built-in Matrix Algebra, no, I don't think, but someone wrote an
interface to LAPACK/BLAS

Please post here your war stories with this endeavour. It's great that
there are pioneering spirits like you trying to break the mold. I
think that is very inspiring.
