[Cuis] First grade school question

[Ignacio Matías Sniechowski]

Germán,
This is something I've been researching. As you know I'm working to have a
kind of CuisOS for the RaspberryPi. So there are two alternatives, the
first one is to get a lot of apps inside Cuis (like a web browser, instant
messaging, etc) all coded in Smalltalk (this would be the ideal scenario)
but seems to be a really hard thing to do.
The other one is the approach you just happen to mention, which is
obviously difficult but not impossible. However, the drawback of this is
that there's no "enforcement" to do things in Smalltalk and the user will
be installing C, C++, Python, Ruby.. apps on the system, and ideally I want
to go back to the times of the Star or Dorado or the Tektronics when the
operating system was -in a way- Smalltalk.
Of course the kernel and the VM will remain mostly in C...and also adding
Prolog, Lisp and Logo to Cuis would be a nice addition.
Another line I'm researching is Wayland-Weston which - in the case of the
RasPi- is probably the way to go, instead of sticking to X. but again,
there's not a vm-display-wayland plugin yet.
But I think things are moving quickly and I strongly belive Cuis has a lot
of potential on the RasPi.

Best
Nacho
