SqueakNOS is an old idea that has gotten the kiss of life again. Squeak is a Smalltalk system built by Alan Kay and SqueakNOS is an attempt to remove the OS underneath Squeak. You can download a VMWare playable image from their sourceforge website or you can get an iso and more details about SqueakNOS from here.

I wish that the person doing the port of wxSqueak would get it into a form that would compile for Linux. The GUI stuff that squeak has is pretty ugly. Rounded corners are not the be-all and end-all some people seem to think they are. I really like smalltalk and squeak, but creating GUIs that look decent in Squeak is an incomprehensible exercise. It speaks volumes about the state of smalltalk when the website at http://www.smalltalk.org/main.html still has articles on its main page dated from 2006 (yeesh!). Why is it that every really good OO language, such as smalltalk and Objective-C are just creeping along at a snail's pace? Come on folks, C++ is just a hideous mess compared to either smalltalk or Objective-C.
