An interesting, but failed experiment. I entirely support its aims though. The problem of how to replace command line pipes in a GUI environment is still an interesting one.

The meat is in the comments which are very polite and informative. I’ve only played with Squeak once back in college so I didn’t really grasp the whole editing-live-objects-which-don’t-live-in-files thing.

It sounds pretty neat and pretty powerful.
