I couldn't agree more. Don't you think it might be useful to augment
squeak by also providing
a scripting language (sans-frameworks and image) that fit this bill?
If no one is interested in this. I'll take it ;-)
But I need advice from both of you from perspective of ST72 and SmallScript.
What does it take to achieve this ?
I like to throw a script to Squeak and automagically rewarded with a FreeCell game without loading a frameowork/image.
People have nibbled at issues like this in the past. Here are two Swiki pages that are relevant:
"FAQ: Squeak Executables" http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/778
"Writing scripts" http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/425
If you just try to use Squeak in one of these ways, you will probably find some rough edges very quickly!
Oh, you'll probably also be interested in ProjectLauncher>>startUpAfterLogin, too, which is where command-line arguments get processed inside Squeak.
