I am interested in building a Lua IDE using the Glamorous Toolkit. The idea is that the Playground, the Inspector, the Spotter, and the Debugger would all be interacting with an external Lua process instead of running code in the Pharo image. The "under the hood" part of Pharo - Smalltalk code - would be hidden unless specially enabled.

Good or bad idea? Any tips on how to approach this? Has something similar been done before? (Is there example code available?)

Cheers,
