Specifically what is unprofessional and immature about my work? The thread you originally responded to was one where I pointed out that the Pharo VM was out-of-date. I referred to a bug that was mine (have you ever released software containing bugs?), and that I had fixed, as promptly as I could once I had an error report. How is that being unprofessional?
For me is unprofessional any advanced future improvements that leads to less stable and less robust vm. I dont need "significaly faster" vm ( speed of old squeak is acceptable ), i need less complicated and more robust solution for future.
Much of the stability issues are not related to speed but to the conversion to 64-bits, which is *critical* for our community since over time modern operating systems are making it harder to run 32-bit applications. A lot of the complexity is probably in the Cog-JIT, so perhaps StackInterpreter build of the VM would provide the balance of stability and speed you desire (@All, how would you rate that option?)
btw, again I ask... 1. Which OS version were you running Pharo on? 2. Were you running 32-bit or 64-bit Pharo? 3. Which links did you download Pharo from? i.e. what is the version/date of both VM and Image? Often we can advise that specific VM/Image has a known bug that has since been fixed.
