No, it is not: http://www.gnu.org/software/smalltalk/manual/html_node/Syntax.html
It looks like it is indeed quite similar to the saphir syntax
Indeed. I think Paolo changes the syntax on some point. Last time I checked it (few years ago), it employed bangs (!)
I think that the syntax is not the most relevant part of this work. What is critical in my opinion, is to have a robust scripting facility. I do not want to use jruby to do the scripting I need to do.
It is useful, yes. However, I don't see where it fits in the Squeak UI of browsers and Monticello. Perhaps some borrowing from NewSpeak is necessary in this case
Why should it fits in the Squeak UI or browsers? Often I have to write few and simple scripts to perform an actions on my files, or simply to provide a textual calculator. Currently I use jruby. But as Stef said, we should not make such debate here.
