I'm going to be giving a presentation to some DoD folks about the wonders of Squeak and why it ought to be seriously consider as a candidate for development work (for a wargaming project). I'm currently using it for the prototype, so naturally the question arose: Should we continue to use Squeak (Smalltalk in general vs. C++, Java, etc. [the usual suspects])?
I would GREATLY appreciate any input! In addition, I've noticed but haven't used either the GUI (Morphic) features or any support for Web/Internet development. Could someone please address these.
To date, I've been using Squeak for the sim-engine and models (tanks, planes, etc.). The GUI is some legacy Java code from a previous sim.
