Bonjour Stef,
I believe the change everyone would be waiting for is a Multi-threaded
VM, that supports threaded callouts and callbacks. So I suppose the
questions become:
- will existing NB syntax require change with the introduction of a MTVM?
- to what degree will NB syntax need to be extended to support threaded
callouts.
- what NB syntax changes are needed for callbacks.
- timing: when is MTVM expected and can we operate on the leading edge?
Personally, in SqueakElib, I have my network and session layers working
for encrypted connections, so I just have the presentation layer to go.
Once done, I would be very interested in working in the VM with whomever
is also interested with an eye towards threading (MTVM). I am no expert
here so it will be a challenge I am looking forward to.
Regards,
Robert

In pharodays presentations we explictly mentioned our strategy:
- we keep NB syntax
- we change the assembly generation to be able to get Spur.

I can tell you that if I could get a lua kind of jit now I would sign
immediately and also for having pharo as a dll.
Now it takes time to do soemthing.
