Hi Craig,

I'm not fully up to speed on a lot of this, but I have to ask - Is it
possible to get a Spoon memory with Context running under SqueakJS? I
mean not just in theory, but can this actually be done in practice, such
that it can be demonstrated on the little-known but otherwise amazing
run.squeak.org?

I'm not sure that I have fully wrapped my head around the possibilities
here, but the idea of incrementally growing an image from a tiny Spur
memory using SqueakJS in a modern web browser seems like it might have
some potential.

If it is possible, then what needs to be done to make it happen? More
funding? More beer?
