But if you then look at the development of Tweak/Croquet
and the latest discussions on the vm-list, it seems they learned their
lesson and now are using a much more closed (hostile?)
form of development...
So something clearly did not went the right way with Squeak from their
perspective.
One thing that the Traits discussion again has shown that it is very
hard
to innovate in Squeak. There is a huge hostility against doing new
things, even if the alternative is complete standstill.
