I was excited to learn more about Visi until I read

> Visi will be self-hosted with a built-in IDE like Smalltalk.

This is exactly why I don't use Squeak or Pharo. I don't want to use *your* editor, I want to be able to use any editor. And I want to `./hello.visi | anotherprogram`, something you can't do when a language is bundled in a horrible non-POSIX, non-CLI VM environment.
