Micro Squeak
Torsten reports on some interesting work from John Maloney, highlighted by Eliot Miranda in the Squeak mailing list:
if size matters and you feel like you have to dig into bootstrapping an own Smalltalk system based on Squeak you should have a look at this post from Eliot. There you will find code that will produces a headless 57k image with a few basic classes as a proof of concept. Interesting!
I think the small kernel approach is the way to go.
