Comment on Proof-of-concept Smalltalk implemented using Factor as a host VMparent

Comments

Smalltalk is easy. There is so little grammar, that implementing it is a snap.

If the toolkit explosion is making it so easy, then maybe Stallman's original GUILE proposal will finally happen. (All scripting languages running on a common platform.)

I just have to put in another plug for GUILE. I've written a sizable chunk of my day-to-day shell scripts in it and it is such a pleasant environment in which to work.

Are there translators out there, for perl, python?
