Do you mean each native thread or a Squeak green thread (Process)?

ESqueak’s Vat has a 4-range priority q, semaphore/mutex protected. These contain closures/#valuables, called Message Sends as opposed to message calls. The Vat runs a EventualProcess on the Scheduler, at priority 30. PriotityVat>>#nextPriorityMessage safely selects the next highest priority message, and evaluated it, in partial ordering, which only applies to remote sending. The local Vat’s ordering for local sends is fully ordering.

#update: could be sent eventually.

This is the dictionary used in the actionSequenceMap.

> As to what’s wrong with the Wrapper framework, well, it was initially called “Navigator” (this was before web browsers stole the name), and the annoying thing about debugging was the levels of nesting of wrappers, so you sometimes had to drill down several layers to find the object that was doing the real work. This applies both to model wrappers and GUI component wrappers, but one can certainly extend explorers to (e.g.,) jump to a nested visual component subclass.
