Thank you, Yoshiki,  for the interesting research report 'Making
applications in KSWorld' and the equally interesting report of October
2012 'A Report on KScript and KSWorld'
http://www.vpri.org/html/writings.php

Chapter 6 of the the October report talks about  the hosting
environment which happens to be Squeak

<citation>
Hosting Environment: Squeak
As of this writing, the KSWorld is hosted on top of Squeak Smalltalk [10]. A
special Morphic widget called KSMorph is created under RectangleMorph.
</citation>

I assume 'KS' in 'KSWorld' just means 'KScript'?  And the 'K' should
be associated with 'CoffeeScript'?

The scripting language for this Hypercard like environment (but with
uniform objects down to the character level) is a variant of
CoffeeScript?
