<div dir="ltr">Hi All,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>yesterday I released version 1.0 of SqueakJS, exactly 7
years after my first public announcement on December 20,
2013.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><a href="https://squeak.js.org/" target="_blank"

</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Arguably I should have done this back in 2016 when it
could run Spur images. What got it over the last hump was
Fabio's interpreter for Sista bytecodes and Erik's
refactoring for Node.js.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>SqueakJS is now the most compatible Squeak VM: it can
run pre-release images from 1996 as well as the latest
Squeak 6.0 trunk image.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For production, you should still use non-Sista images,
because no JIT has been implemented yet.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A big Thank You to all the contributors over the years,
and to Dan Ingalls for the inspiration, and funding the
initial development. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There are still many things to work on:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- a simple JIT for Sista bytecode to bring its speed at
least up to par with its pre-Sista speed</div>
<div>- a "real" JIT with context mapping (keeping temps in
JS vars rather than on the stack) and send
optimizations (mapping sends to JS function invocations)</div>
<div>- 64 bit support for pre-Spur images</div>
<div>- big-endian support for 64 bit images</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Help is very welcome at <a
