When OLPC development was started, Squeak was indeed considered as an implementation language, but ultimately Python was selected in the hope of tapping into the larger open-source community (the Smalltalk developer community is quite small compared to Python users). Alan even gave a keynote at Pycon but I don’t think it actually lead to a big influx of developers for Sugar. Etoys has been pretty much the only non-Python activity for a very long time (I’m not sure if there is another one nowadays). See https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Low-level_Activity_API <https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Low-level_Activity_API> > Are any other activities written in squeak? Very few, but yes: http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4054 <http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4054> http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4235 <http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4235> … and some more at: http://hpi.uni-potsdam.de/hirschfeld/projects/olpc/ > Can other activities be made within etoys? In Etoys you create projects, and there is a way to make a Sugar activity from a project, but that is more of an experimental feature, we never added a proper UI: - Bert -
