Hi Ron -

I agree that the best way to look at Tweak is in the context of Croquet.

Not sure what you mean by "being" ToolBuilder. Tweak does support 
ToolBuilder, yes (it has from the very beginning).

> How difficult would it be to redo the tools in Tweak? 

I did the PlusTools as an experiment to see how hard it would be and it 
turns out that it's not terribly hard but it's also nothing you could do 
over a weekend.

> Can we integrate Tweak and will Andreas support it in Squeak?

There are two answers to that: For one thing, I have already been 
supporting it for a couple of years in Squeak 3.6 and 3.8. On the other 
hand, no single person can single-handedly provide support for the whole 
Squeak community. The truth is obviously somewhere in the middle.

> Can we integrate some of the Croquet functionality?

Actually, this will be a requirement in the not too distant future. 
Supporting Tweak outside of Croquet is simply too much of an effort for 
me. Which means that if you want Tweak you'll need islands, future 
messages, and event-loop concurrency (replication may remain optional 
though). Those will execute on top of the Croquet Metaclass kernel which 
will make it a nicely self-contained package that has barely any 
entanglements with other parts of Squeak.

The goal of Tweak wasn't to "clean up Morphic" simply because 
architecturally there isn't anything to clean up. Morphic is Morphic 
both the good and the bad. It chooses one set of tradeoffs which are 
perfectly reasonable in itself. Tweak chooses another set of tradeoffs 
and those come with the good and the bad, too.
