ANN: StepTalk 0.1.0

[Stefan Urbanek]

Hello,

I would like to announce first development release of StepTalk

What is StepTalk?
-----------------

StepTalk is Smalltalk interpreter for GNUstep. It is meant mainly for
scripting GNUstep apps or for talking to registered named DO objects or apps. 

Some features

    - Smalltalk syntax 
    - scripting environments 
        allow/deny selectors for particuliar classes (you can deny methods for
        untrusted scripts, that can make damage your files (overwrite or
delete))
    - map binary selector to normal selector, so you can then write: 
                          ('Hello ', name, '!') print.
    - block closures 
    - exception handlig
    - additions to GNUstep classes instead of using own classes 
      (NSArray do:,  select:, detect:; NSNumber to:do:...) 
    - one or more methods in script
