Yes take a 15 inches in my office.

I don't know if you want to add this dependency in Cog. By the way I keep working on the Sista, but with 1 or 2 day of work per week it will take me a while to get back the infrastructure to work (I mean bytecode -> SSA -> bytecode). The bytecode to SSA decompiler doesn't support your blockClosure implementation and there's even more work in the SSA to bytecode generator. When it'll work I'll contact you back for the new bytecode set.

(In MemoryHole's format; load into a Newspeak image and you can output chunk format.) This version of DeltaBlue adheres to the original in its weird pattern of accessing the constant Strength values, which if you look at V8 or Dart's versions you will find rewritten.
