#snak is really an impressive work, @grunfink.
Looking at the code I wonder where the "backported" xs library comes from: it looks very clean and nice...
Also, I've never seen C headers used for implementations: it's a clever trick that reduce the gap between #C and a more advanced language like #Oberon (
) but I wonder why you coded it this way.
```
There are two orthogonal forces at work in the Squeak team [...] the incremental improvement plane (which #AlanKey calls the "pink" plane) and the paradigm shift (or "blue") plane. [...]
The forces in the pink plane have to do with making an ever-better Smalltalk-80 system [...]
The forces in the blue plane have to do with [...] an exquisite personal comuputing environment. [...]
One aspect is that things must stay small and simple enough that they remain comprehensible and accessible to a single person.

I'm always amazed to see how ancient is the quest for #simplicity.
#Jehanne, #Wirth's #Oberon, #TempleOS, #Squeak... we are all looking for the same Holy Grail, dreaming the same dream but in a different way...
