</div>What are the 10 lines of code required to provide the VM support?<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>speaking about numbers,<br></div><div>it is like<br></div><div>+ 10 lines of new code in C<br></div><div>and<br></div><div>- 10000 lines of old code in C in exchange of 1/100 of smalltalk code in image.<br>
