Some time ago I stumbled across an open source project called Etoile
The project is attempting to create a new, configurable, interface for computers, based upon the GNUStep library. My interest lay in the potential to build workspaces that might support creative problem solving. Anyway, recently, they announced that they were planning to build Smalltalk into the system, and that has now happened.
The class library is a little unusual, because it builds on top of the GNUStep library, but the basic language will be familar to anyone who has used Smalltalk. I really like the idea of being able to program the whole OS via Smalltalk.
