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

I've been meaning to respond to this since first seeing it. (I've been
very busy learning about the VM and building a new box.)

I did some reading.  Curl is very interesting.  I very much want a
graphically rich web-client experience.  Has anyone actually used Curl
and been able to observe something about its strengths and weaknesses?
