I think, that the commercial Smalltalk vendors have other problems and
therefore
there is little interest in looking at the VM technology or stuff like
this.

I've posted about Strongtalk in the VASmalltalk forum, but the result
were
more or less pretty clear: Smalltalk speed is not criticial for lots
of
customers any more - its nice to have it faster, but its not critical
any
more - only a few persons making heavy computations would love to see
some
more speed.

For the other thing: the optional type system: well I would love to
see it in
VASmalltalk, but I assume, that type systems are not a hot topic at
all
in the community these days.

Therefore the community has other things to do ...
