To share my good news! I just got a port of Cryptography's ASN1 to Java passing tests. Now to get PhaseHeaders encoding right to bring bit-compatible encryption between Squeak and Java online.
Almost 50% more code in Java than squeak, just saying we have a concrete example of the efficacy of squeak over Java. They should have left it as the Oak Project and called it a day. Our day comes.

We do have assorted string encoding stuff in the current image but the actual UTF8 results of #squeakToUtf8 (for example) are just ByteStrings. Which is actually rather confusing and annoying because now you have no way to know what encoding is relevant other than be carefully keeping track manually. Normally of course, within the image we have perfectly usable strings because any time a unicode character that is outside the 1-byte range is used the string becomes a WideString.
We need to do better. Look at TextEncoder and its hierarchy for more info.
