Actually, the more up-to-date code for that is in the GNU ELPA
repository
Indeed. We should promote 3.2.91 to 3.3.0 and cope with VisualGST being
slightly broken (it's based on GTK+ 2.0 anyway). Let me aim to do this before
the end of the year.

GST is not slow, at least not slow in its class, which is bytecode compiled
dynamic typed language without a JIT. It is also not particularly buggy in this
class. The VM is

Not exactly. There are a few maintainers around, so they will probably accept
patches. But nothing new happened in the last few years, as you say.

I see. I am using Debian and Ubuntu. VisualGST has not worked on Debian
and Ubuntu in nearly a decade:

There is no problem to create files with "vi" or "pico" and use them with "GNU
smalltalk",
there is something more subtle like overall product philosophy or 'personal
touch',
that is harder to get the same when the original author certainly preferred GNU
emacs (I think).

VisualGST still compiles for me on Solaris 11.4 by the way.
Personally I don't use VisualGST and I think the original approach of GNU
Smalltalk was rather to use GNU emacs as its code browser.
Other Smalltalk implementations can be complementary.
I think that GNU smalltalk is rather for more
