I wouldn't get my hopes up too much. Scratch is simply very well
designed in itself, the fact it's written in Squeak is secondary to
the public (though of course not to the developers). MIT is doing a
decent marketing job so it pops up here and there.

it before? The article doesn't mention any of these recognizable
keywords, I just recognized the UI interface. And yes they do
mention MIT Media Labs.
One thing I had real fun following for a while was the news ticker
on the SecondLife front page showing articles about people
discovering the system. Of course it's not so new anymore and so
not as interesting...

If you mean this
http://scratch.mit.edu/
then it is indeed written in Squeak and Morphic.
