Hi -- I'm not really qualified to have an opinion on this but I've searched around a bit and found interesting things: These guys have used it for Genetic Algorithms http://www.fit.vutbr.cz/study/courses/OMP/public/software/sqcdrom2/Packages/Languages/Genetic%20Algorithms/index.html The next example wasn't written for Squeak, but it's still Smalltalk. It's for sound and they interfaced to C (FFTW, etc). http://fastlabinc.com/Siren/ Tiny, tiny example of singal processing with Squeak: http://www.jvuletich.org/issues/Issue0006.htm > Does it have the support for images, matrix algebra, plain old > performance for signal processing to build a photo-shop-like > application? I guess it has been used for Robot control, which would > have similar performance demands. What do you think? Built-in Matrix Algebra, no, I don't think, but someone wrote an interface to LAPACK/BLAS http://ncellier.ifrance.com/Smallapack/ Please post here your war stories with this endeavour. It's great that there are pioneering spirits like you trying to break the mold. I think that is very inspiring.
