These are not mutually exclusive. What we're doing now by harnessing
external libraries is prototyping - we're on the first step of "make it
work, make it right, make it fast" ( and maybe getting sone #3 for free ;)
). Of course ultimately, we would like turtles all the way down, but relying
on the already-done work of others gives us leverage, allowing us to focus
our limited resources on the key things that have /never been done before/ -
our unique contribution to the future of computing. When time and resources
allow, we are free to come back and write from Scratch in Smalltalk,
especially since there is a nice abstraction layer in between.
