Greetings, One of the things that have kept me from all Smalltalks is the lack of true/native multi-threading support that is able to utilize multiple CPUs. In today's world, it is a show-stopper for me and many others. I believe that GST only supports cooperative threads utilizing a single machine thread. Adding true native thread support would make GST quite appealing to a large crowd IMO. I'd also guess that adding said support would be difficult but easier in GST than other Smalltalks. Just a thought. Thanks! Blake McBride
