| | Where is Squeak Headed? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) |
 | | In this plane Squeak's high level of compatibility with the ST-80 language (and even with the MVC display architecture) is a plus, and the current forces of progress are aimed at a higher performance interpreter, with support for block closures, exception handling, as well as some answer to various needs for finalization. |
 | | In the same time frame, the Squeak team plans to be working entirely in Morphic, so we will be exercising our optimization skills on getting the performance there up to the same level we see in the MVC (Models, Views, and Controllers) browsers. |
 | | A favorite of ours is type inference, and we would like to see Squeak be adequately reflective by that time that if it looked at its navel for long enough it could tell you the types of every variable in the system. |
