Notes: I used to work on Cold, but no longer do. I now work on Cubik with Shillo. These days, I'm putting a good bit of work into TOM as that's the programming language that we're writing Cubik in. I've also been working on patches to glibc documentation, and getting ready to look at fixing some of the linux man pages.
If you file bugs against the GTK+ bindings for TOM, I'd be happy to look into fixing them. I'm less enthusiastic about fixing the GNOME parts, but may be willing to fix that as well. Alternatively, I'd happily accept patches!
About the TOM VM, there is a TOM VM written. It hasn't been well tested due to the lack of a bytecode compiler. We'll get to that at some point. :) We're working on other TOM projects at the moment though, so it may take a while.
I've been fixing bugs and working on some smalls thing with it, mainly in figuring out what's involved in adding a MOP to get the mostly-native performance that I need, but with with the dynamicism that I'm used to having. I just released a new bootstrap last night and will be doing an update to the website tonight or tomorrow to reflect some of the changes in things. (Tesla is now the recommended compiler over the old one written in Objective C.)
Once some of that is worked out, I'd expect to see something more being done on Cubik, as until then, there isn't much use.
