[Randy]

 Very cool! Maybe I didn’t search everything but somehow didn’t find the video of the UI work …

We began developing this system since the Self virtual machine is currently unable to be easily run on most modern operating systems (without setting up a virtual machine to emulate older 32-bit operating systems).

The system comes with its own GUI framework to demonstrate its features that is extensible by users, and the framework itself serves as a proof-of-concept for implementing Morphic-related features in the future. The interpreter’s implementation is bootstrapped, meaning that higher-level features like lists and strings are directly imported from their respective Self modules, which we file out from the original Self system.

If you’re interested in exploring our system further, we’ve prepared a video demo for your convenience (here). You can also visit our repository on GitHub below. We welcome your thoughts and feedback!
