Yes, I agree that the only substantial development of Morphic is going
on in Cuis, not in Pharo, Specs is a layer on top of it and later
maybe they generate for Athens and in Squeak it is in maintenance
mode.

So let's port some more of the old Squeak Morphic examples!

As one of the Squeak maintainers, I am going to take that as a compliment ;-)

Jokes aside, I am really looking forward to Morphic 3, and I hope that
some time we can make it work in Squeak as well as in Cuis. I think that
this is possible. I see Cuis as clean, simple, and innovative. Squeak
should be both stable and adaptable to great new things like Morphic 3.

Thanks for your continued and patient interest on Morphic 3. And thank
you for supporting both Cuis and Squeak. Cuis is a different system, but
not a different community. We will help and support any and all
initiatives to integrate stuff from Cuis into Squeak and other systems.

Cheers,
Juan Vuletich
