Well, as a computer professional, it sounds like you
have a good feeling for the strengths and weaknesses
of Squeak. If you want to manage underlying
operating-system processes then yes, Squeak or Java
are not good choices.
I think there is a section on the swiki that is
intended to answer your very question, this might be
it: http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/532
I'm not sure what you mean by "resource intensive", or
whether there are any Squeak systems, but I do know of
a couple of Smalltalk systems in the past that might
be characteristic. Texas Instruments automated
semiconducter manufactoring ("ControlWorks") in
VisualWorks. The U.S. Dept. of Defense developed
"JWARS - Joint Warefare System" using VisualAge. I've
heard these are neat, real-time systems but don't know
much about them.
Perhaps the neatest things from Squeak are yet to
come.
