Hi to all,
since I am a newbie to Squeak and Smalltalk in general I dare not say too
much. Still, I've got programming experience for about 24 years and I am so
impressed with Squeak so far, that I really won't see it die.
One of the best "features" of Smalltalk and even more Squeak, is the general
availability of source code.
When "decreasing the image size" really means creating several "unclothed"
versions + sets of "clothes" to make them wear, I think it's a bad idea.
IMHO I think that Squeak should remain a stable platform which is generally
useable to build upon for anyone.
BTW, why bother about image size? As far as I get it so far one can unload
lots of stuff if needed for some reason?
Keep up the good work and please don't let Squeak die ...
Kind regards,
Arie van Wingerden
