Gilad/Martin, thanks for the links.  I've been reading about Newspeak
and Scala all day, mostly Newspeak, which has a refreshingly simple
grammar.  The nesting of classes, overriding of slots, methods, and
classes, and the late binding for all sends is a powerful
combination.  I think I can achieve the patterns of expression I want
with it.  Brazil and Hopscotch are also inspiring.

Does the current Newspeak in Squeak have a method formatter and syntax
colorizer?

What is the next step in getting Strongtalk into a suitable state for
integration with (or de-Squeaking) Newspeak?

Is the current Strongtalk licensing a problem?
