Hi all!<br><br>The last few weeks I started thinking about an alternative or rather,<br>complimentary approach. Mike - yes, this post is long too - but it is a<br>full new proposal so bear with me.</blockquote><div><br><br>
Call me "Gulik" - it's more unique and is better than Squeak::Namespaces::Michael :-P.<br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

by Dan etc. Why not just go *fully late bound*? It would solve lots of<br>problems - like dynamic remapping of spaces without any recompilation<br>needed.</blockquote><div><br><br>I'd want to see some actual performance comparisons of this approach before I'm convinced. It sounds very slow.
<br><br>Plus keep in mind that developers like dynamic remapping, but it would be a useless feature for end-users. Users load code once and never modify code, and if the approach comes at a significant speed cost then this is unfair to the users.
<br><br>I plan to get around the limitations of compile-time binding (which I agree are annoying) by adding support to the tools to rebind an entire package with a couple of mouse clicks.<br></div><br></div>Gulik.<br clear="all">
