Hello folks,<br>
<br>
during my visit at ESUG i had a conversation with Stephane, about<br>
different things, one of them is to make a better and cleaner compiler<br>
implementation.<br>
<br>
Current compiler code contains a lot of hacks and to be fair, is not a<br>
best example of good smalltalk code.<br>
What i'm proposing, is to establish a comittee for designing a better<br>
smalltalk compiler , which will replace old one on all existing Squeak<br>
forks.<br>
I think comittee should collect & discuss all feature requests, which<br>
new compiler should have, and then we can implement it and include in<br>
every and all forks.<br>
It is also, IMO, would be a good to make compiler modular - put it as<br>
separate package and maintain it as separate fork-independent entity.<br>
This will ensure that all existing forks in future will use the same<br>
compiler as the rest. Which will make people's life much easier :)<br>
<br>
I hope with support of atomic loading (btw a new compiler is a good<br>
test-bed for atomic loading) we should be able to load it at will :)<br>
