For me, the squeak environment - image - is not problem; but the performance is my main obstacle to use it for main development. If squeak can show more than 90% of performance of C in every case(this is important part, for some limited area it might already performant), for me, squeak is best choice. I hope PEPSI/COLA/etc could help me to solve this problem - performance, raw performance. Without this, I think that the language or development environment cannot be universal tool like C. (Yes, I know human productivity/performance is more valuable but productive, performant and fast language is better than productive one with moderate speed, isn't it?)

The PyPy project is similar in it's intent to specify the Python language core in a high level subset of Python. Squeak does this too, though I find Smalltalk syntax and image based environment hard to embrace for development. # Steve _______________________________________________ fonc mailing list [email protected] http://vpri.org/mailman/listinfo/fonc
