[squeak-dev] would it be fun to implement Squeak on this hardware?

This is a cross developement system (where you create the program on a
"host computer", like your PC, and then upload it to a "target
computer", like a microcontroller board, in order to run it). The
interesting aspect of the micro Python is that it is a native
environment. The PC just acts as a dumb ASCII terminal.

You can also have a mix where the application is developed on the target
machine while most of the development environment runs on the host. That
was the case for Palm Smalltalk and OOVM which used Squeak and Eclipse
respectively on the PC side.
