Some reasons for using properties for instance specific behavior:
- Morphs already have properties (no new classes)
- UI operations can be a bit slow but are fast relative to humans
- No change to VM dispatch mechanics
- Current usage does not change hardware event -> message dispatch mechanics
Much of what I am interested in relates to direct authoring via drag-n-drop pallets and fill-in-the-blank or simple method extensions. I am not sure where I would use instance specific behavior outside of the UI.
One thing to think about is that common patterns can use "threaded code" which is very efficient. For a specialized common cases the Scratch solution is very attractive alternative to/as a mini-language.
More playtime as I get a chance..
