So I repeat it. Right now on my desktop when I open any Smalltalk I still have some old ideas moving inside. And we would like to create a different world in which even old ideas that were discussed long time ago but never arrived to my current desktop could be discussed. If we want people to invent the future, they should at least know the past and gets also ideas from others. >> For example I would like to see the cost of it at the level of the GC. >> > > The main problem here, as also mentioned in discussion, is how GC > should deal with far references, i.e. > how to determine correctly when object which is referenced by some far > ref become garbage.
