Wow, okay made it to a real computer and tried it out. Fabulous. Considering an interpreter running in another high level language, the performance is amazing. I'm floored.

Juan: I would LOVE to see MVC for headless servers and systems too low end to run Morphic well. One of the things I'd like to be able to do in Squeak/etc is to be able to unload Morphic. Alas, I have too many hobbies. I wish I had a good chunk of time to devote to resurrecting MVC for Cuis. But I'm rambling off-topic.

This is just SO cool.

Performance figures are rather modest:

Firefox: 4,232,804 bytecode/s 152,003 sends/s
Chrome: 1,860,465 bytecode/s 76,859 send/s
StackVM: 623,250,152 bytecode/s 13,392,546 sends/s

But still, MVC is _very_ usable. I could even set display depth to 32bpp, and play with mandalas and such in full color. Wonderful!

This makes me think... Maybe MVC could still be useful as a low overhead UI for servers that usually run headless, very low power hardware, etc...
