I'm aware of it, I haven't had chance to play with it yet (and my smalltalk 
has gotten rather rusty). If you do, I'd be interested in how well it works.

It is smalltalk based (technically squeak based, which is a free smalltalk 
implementation, but it has some variences from the commercial implementations 
I'm used to - most of smalltalk is in the class library so where the standard 
doesn't specify there's a lot of room for differences).
