After ignoring it for a few years I again had a look at Squeak, but not via the smalltalk route, but via the etoys of squeakland and I must say I am very impressed. Running in the browser I could actually create a car model yesterday without too many problems. I think to create an account for Matteo that goes directly to a squeak world filled with toys and stuff. He would like that and would be able to do already something with it.
My fears that there was nothing out there to give to our son that would be as much fun and as building as a C-64 or a TI-99/4A seem unfounded, he can go from drawing to creating etoys to hacking the smalltalk in one smooth climb it seems.
Joy!
