<< Squeak is mentioned briefly in an interview with Python creator Guido van 
Rossum at: http://www.oreilly.com/frank/ >>

This article mentions a number of interesting language and platform 
issues--those interested in such might check it out. 

The name of some languages and platforms that I was unfamiliar with are 
mentioned in the article. It took me a while to find decent links for 
    Amoeba  [ www.cs.vu.nl/pub/amoeba/amoeba.html ], 
    Pike        [ 194.52.182.96/documentation/pike_tutorial/tutorial.html ], 
    Lua         [ www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~cassino/luajava ], and 
    MEL         [I can find references such as those to the Maya environment
                    (see Maya references starting from www.aw.sgi.com 
                    (cautionary note: their pages download mucho graphics)),
                but not language details ]
with appropriate credit due to AltaVista.com.

It's worth taking a look at the Amoeba page just to see the picture of the 
V8-SPARC at VU. It reminded me of my 7030 days. Are we going to require 
super-computers just to serve our software needs in the future.
