[squeak-dev] Squeak vision

Creators build worlds, visions, grand stuff. Predators take beautiful 
and deep things, rip away everything they don't need or understand, shit 
everywhere, and go away with the tiny bit of stuff that they wanted, 
leaving a mess behind.

Projects like Squeak are a wonder at their beginnings: only creators are 
interested in them, and developping them. Then they become known to a 
larger circle, and after a while some people start saying: "it would be 
nice if we had that large share of market". Or "Lisp is good, but there 
are too many parentheses". At this point the creators should really 
start to worry. The predators have entered the place.
