Hi Steve,

 

I’m not sure about the image based environment to be honest. Speaking to devs who looked at Smalltalk and never took it up, one of the reasons why was they could never get their heads around the image based development. Is this an opportunity to move away from that and help get Smalltalk back into the mainstream? Maybe.

I had a look at the IronRuby code and it seemed to depend on the MS Scripting libraries. Is the DLR suited for an image-based environment?

Hi,

 

Yes I did. As far as I can see, this is written against the CLR itself and not the DLR. I'm just back from the MVP summit in Seattle and I was speaking to the DLR guys out there and they are not aware of a project for Smalltalk to target the DLR and would be interested in one.

 

Cheers,

Gary

Have you looked at what John Brant and Don Roberts did with #Smalltalk?

Any Smalltalkers on this list interested in a project to port Smalltalk to
the Dynamic Language Runtime? If so, ping me back an email.
