This is why I am in general not a fan of this idea of code trying to be
compatible on that level…
To me what fascinated me about Squeak was not to be slavishly compatible to
ST80, but to do
and do *more*. To take the philosophy and push it further… but that can *not*
be done if one
want to 100% backward compatible on an implementation level forever...
I think my next talk at ESUG will be “Why I am not a Smalltalker”. :-)
