Every time you accept a method, you're compiling it in Squeak 4.5 and<br>
imprinting it onto the kernel. But you're referring to imprinting driven<br>
by method execution? </blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes exactly!</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">(Each method that is run is imprinted elsewhere, as<br>

To me, the holy-grail of deployment scaling is I first I develop and configure in a big luxurious Cadillac image loaded with tools until I'm ready to deploy. When I'm ready to deplooy I fire up a copy of your 1MB core image as the "target" with my luxury image as the 'source' and then I simply bring over a top-level test-suite method into the target and run it.</div><div><br></div><div>As the methods are executed and found to be missing in the 1MB target, they are brought over from the source.</div><div><br></div><div>By the time the tests are done, /all/ and /only/ the methods which were needed to run the tests were brought over by Spoon / Naiad.</div><div><br></div><div>Now I want to save that target image (maybe 5MB now) and deploy it. I will want to run many multiple copies of of that 5MB image but since my tests probably don't have 100% coverage it would be too risky to run in production unless each of those 5MB images could have backup Spoon access to a single running copy of my mother Caddi' image, in case one more method is found to be needed...</div><div><br></div><div>So I see Spoon as a way for learning about systems like you, but also as a solution for scaling -- from the smallest single core for limited hardware <---> to the largest multi-core, applications because one can run MORE images concurrently due to their smaller size.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

In any case, I do plan to make videos showing all the top-level<br>
