My plan is to release a 1.0 as soon as possible. That's a release of Exupery that is generally useful, even if only for a single platform.
That's good news Bryce! A blazing Squeak, if stable, would be truly compelling.
Are you planning support for all three major platforms? I take it there is no (Slangy) way to make Exupery platform-independent?

Thanks

Do you mean the three main x86 platforms? An operating system port should be easy. There's only a few things that are likely to be different. The most likely difference is the call to allocate executable memory. There's a small chance that the C calling conventions are different. The biggest problem may be building a regular VM to port into.
I'm hoping that other people will step forward to do the ports. I'd like there to be ports, but it's really up to you. For Exupery to be fully accepted by the community, other people will need to be able to maintain it.
