Whats the news on that? Are we winning? When i first
discovered the potential of Squeak, i felt like my
game developer dreams had been answered. I really
didn't feel like developing with the weight of C++,
Smalltalk is way more elegant.
When i posted this issue, i didn't get much of a
reply. I'm assuming a lot of the Squeak community is
business-application oriented, and may not see the
same potential of having Squeak running on such mass
marketed consoles as i most certainly do!!
Creative game developers need good tools to work with,
less crap to deal with (hardware, OS), and more
freedom to prove their artistic ability. The answer is
Squeak.

I would love to know of these updates, as i believe
that getting a deal with Sony would be revolutionary!

Thanks for your response,
Ali.
