What an incredible loss. I first met Vanessa almost 20 years ago while she was working for impara in Magdeburg. We were colleagues until 2017. She introduced me to Cory Doctorow's Little Brother novels. We attended Hackers together. She was an incredible programmer, a role model and very kind soul. I learned a lot from her. May she find peace wherever she is now.
So young; what a tragedy.

Fuck and I hoped I stumble at some point in time at a Smalltalk conference into her. But not in this timeline. Suicide sucks.
Here's some stuff Vanessa and I discussed about Self and her SqueakJS paper:
