Me and a cousin of mine where discussing the speed of compiled languages vs
the speed of interpreted languages and the subject of compiling interpreted
languages came up.  Languages like Java that are compiled down to bytecode
can then be compiled to machine code, but I was under the impression that
concept was impossible with smalltalk. Why is this?  And, I know there is a
project to build a compiler for smaltalk, what is the concept behind it?

thanks
