You should invent the next generation Smalltalk with: - good packages - security - minimal core - well design Meta object protocol (I have some ideas there) - lean and clean code

Now, as for the bedtime story: while I enjoyed it immensely, I
think it does point out a not-so-subtle problem that our community has. Some reverence for those who have come before you is good, but I think we take it a little too far. Yes, Dan and the rest of the original Squeak team are very talented, but we should also realize that they had financial support for their efforts. We are simply not working with the external resources that they had.
I think we are too quick to frame technical decisions with the
question "What would they have done?" We need to think for ourselves; no one has all the answers. The Squeak team has achieved a wonderful thing, and has made an amazing gift of it to us, but we should not be distracted from our own powers.
