Yes indeed, it starts in Squeak 3.8 :)

A typical developer understatement ;-)

Pavel, I have a working compiler for slot objects in Squeak (even a  
runtime), works "without problems". It does recursive descent parsing, so  
the developer has control and can debug (versus: it works in theory but  
YACC and friends' support for error reporting is terrible).

I am about to adapt my system to make use of the #closures messages  
category of CompiledMethod (Squeak 3.9).

What are your intentions with Marvin:

a - support Smalltalk syntax only
b - support implicit-self sends
c - support message cascading with ; (I do so)

and, besides explicit redirection,

d - support just one superclass (parent*) slot
e - support multiple parent* slots
