Re: Status of Strongtalk C++ code: VM stability and progress on a graphical debugger

There would now be an opportunity to run on the Curl NITRO Runtime from
curl.com

They are in the process of relaxing the license

Most users are in Korea, Japan and India.  I am hoping to add China and
various former Soviet republics to that list ..

I have tried to interest Rebol3 in running on NITRO

We need something Smalltalk-like and we are already typed (Curl)
