no, it is not. Igor (creator and maintainer) did not show any interest on continue with it and frankly, the amount of work to make it work plus the security concerns showed by some people (having executable memory will not pass many revisions in many places) made us take the hard decision of not continue supporting it as integral part of Pharo. But of course, anyone can take it and make it work, it will need a couple of VM tweaks (to make memory executable) and re-introduce the NB plugin, but that is the easy part… I would help with that if people show interest :) > > (ii)Where can I find latest AsmJit?
