I think Andreas is on something really substantial.
His SqueakScript image is only the tip of an ice-berge.
We can expect a greater SqueakScript image real soon now.
And by greater I mean smaller and bootstrap-able.
And extensible to a minimal morphic Squeak image.
Where MVC gets its death sentence.
As well as something like 99% of the morphs.
In his own words, 'I am busy like hell'.
Let's hope that he's been busy chopping up the morphs.
And when he has a random cycle to spare.
Then maybe we will hear all these from the horse's mouth.
Cheers,
PhiHo.
