Talking about interoperability. I did some experiment a while ago about making Squeak talk to Java using sockets. Java classes are accessible within Squeak, and reflection is used to invoke methods.
People interested in this could ask for further info.

It would be nice to have that instead. E.g, it supports callbacks nicely

Go Eliot, go! It is crucial that Smalltalk gets better bindings with
the outside world. It should be easy (as with Python or Ruby) to
integrate some external C library.

I hope the new FFI doesn't need to hack the Smalltalk language and compiler.
