   @AbbieNormal Etoilé was actually based on GNUStep - an attempt to create an improved desktop experience on top of it. ObjC, indeed, and nowhere near #smalltalk territory. But at least they try.

     @AbbieNormal #GNUStep are trying something along those lines, although based on the #NeXT OOP class browser, and not nearly as powerful as a #squeak or #pharo one.

     NeXT is an extremely interesting oroject but I'm not sure I understand what it's all about

     Is it a library ?

     How is it distinct from Etoile ?

     And then there's the ObjC mess

     I don't know, I don't get it

     Also: is their class browser still based on the Miller Columns ?

     I drream a native #gnome framework made with a browser copied form the #smalltalk browser

     For browsing files hierarches

     But also email folders

     toots (the articulation of categories in ths case could be invented)

     forums

     trees of todo tasks

     git trees

     databases

     whatever

     things could be represented logically with vocabularies and triples and managed by a system wide service

     And then the same browser could allow you to browse anything
