If the attempt is a reinterpretation a Smalltalk base development environment would make a difference in the ecosystem we must check if we aren't flared by our preference of languages versus operational pragmatics. If the idea is to have such environment to the present (and sadly minute) community of Smalltalk developers, probably the effort would attend to a very small clientèle and the returns will be elusive and the project will end orphan. > GWT Homepage: http://code.google.com/intl/nl/webtoolkit/
