That's not what I suggested. What I suggested iwas that in order for Squeak
to entice more people to try it, a VB scripting "personality" should be
*added*.

This does NOTHING to change the real language that Squeak uses. It would
merely act as a translator from VB to Squeak Smallltalk (or from XTalk to
Squeak Smallltalk) or provide some other way to help in the transition from
the original end-user language to using Squeak.

Squeak should NOT be tied to a specific language, at least from the
end-user's perspective.
