Cool. I would love to see a Linux/UNIX system introspection tool built in any of the ST implementations.

And do you work on Etoile? I am very surprised to hear it was built with Smalltalk. I remember some devs on FLOSS Weekly years ago, and I could be wrong, and I thought this was one of the few projects in the FLOSS world using Objective C (I thought it was a branch of GNUStep, but maybe I am just getting it confused with GNUStep).

For others who did not know about its use of Smalltalk, the dev page hints at it.

That is a very cool tidbit. Maybe it is time I finally sit down and play with EtoileOS. I listened a long time ago (we are talking years), but this explains also a point I remember that came up: object persistence and how modern OS X was doing cool stuff with application state (not just files) over reboots. Smalltalk makes that interest a lot more obvious now, and it seemed cool but far out and complicated at the time. Will definitely listen to the interview and encourage others to do the same!

No, I do not work on it, but I've followed it from a distance.
