Hi guido This is good to have people with kicking ass arguments. Thanks for that. Now pay attention that you do not fall only in this category because after a while this will get the inverse effect to what you want to achieve. Because I imagine that you want us to be much better and we will try hard.

I have problem with this statement since on VW with a jit I imagine that lot of the lookup gets cached already. > LSWVST introduces a new object-type - IsoCollections.

I like the idea of DNG because I was sad to see Dolphin disappear. Now it does not work on my machine since now more than 10 years. > > > Hmmm, opening a simple Array of 1.000.000 elements consumes 4 > megabytes > in Pharo ... I have a question: why don't you use LSWVST? I would have used Dolphin long time ago if I could have. Now we will build something open and free for the community. And communities are important else Smalltalk would be just a nice idea in the museum.
