Here's a little blog post about Redline Java interop http://www.redline.st/blog/2012/11/20/automatic-java-class-i... Short story: import: 'com.friendly.Greeting' as: 'Greeter'. Greeter new say.

That short story is indeed what should receive some more emphasis in the marketing materials ;) Is there also a similar post about interop the other way around, like Clojure's gen-class?

For piecemeal migration from Java to Smalltalk being able to compile a class to an existing interface is key since once you have that you can just plug it into the Spring context of any existing Java app and slowly migrate from there.

We are indeed working on that. We have given it little 'marketing push' because it is still very immature.
