Just a data point: the www.smallscript.org guys claim that they have implemented a superset of smalltalk-98 called S# running on the CLR. They have the usual suspect features you'd want in a dynamic language and they claim the performance is very good: http://www.smallscript.org/Language%20Comparison%20Chart.asp I haven't downloaded their stuff, since it requires a silly registration, but it would be good if someone is willing to run some tests with it and maybe also report if it works in mono. lupus -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] debian/rules [EMAIL PROTECTED] Monkeys do it better _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
