Ah, but don't you think PLT Scheme folks would love to be able to access
the cross-platform desktop, Morphic graphics, and other exotic Squeak
libraries?

Or that Squeak programmers couldn't benefit from the functionality of
Scheme libraries?

The point isn't so much that anyone would write in a mix of Scheme and
Smalltalk as it is to be able to write in the language of your choice
and still leverage work done in the other environment.


Warmest Regards,
