NXTalk applications are just Smalltalk classes and methods, nothing
else; they are compiled to the NXTalk bytecode format by a dedicated
image builder.

Connecting Physical Etoys with NXTalk would, as far as I can see,
require some code generation to turn the Etoys descriptions of
sensor/actor connections to the brick into methods that set up the
hardware at application startup. Scripts may be a bit more difficult,
depending on the interfaces - but it should be possible.

I'll put it on the list of Things I Need To Look At. Hopefully, there
will be some community forming around NXTalk soon, that would really
help.

Best,
