One of the projects I did a while ago was writing PIC/Smalltalk, which basically is a Slang-style translater that translates Smalltalk source code into PIC assembler. PIC chips are tiny 8-bit RISC embedded micro-controllers (www.microchip.com), with miniscule amounts of memory (program memory measured in single-digit kilobytes and RAM between 50 and 500 bytes).


Thank you, thank you for that pointer, after looking at the PIC IDE I felt a little overwhelmed, but this gets my motivation way up :-)

Are you aware of the work Maurice Rabb did on developing a tiny smalltalk for micro controllers? He did a presentation at the Smalltalk Solutions, but I lost track of whether he is still working on it.
