how do avail classes/objects work? for instance, what’s the difference between an explicit class and a regular class? (my guess is that an instance of an explicit class has its member slots pre-allocated)
i also wonder how class fields (smalltalk object slots?) are laid-out in memory. does an object keep a reference to it’s class (and to it’s meta class, recursively)? how does a class in the avail world get mapped to a class in the jvm world (is that even possible, or only for explicit classes)? questions… questions … cheers, Robbert.
