Hi Edgar, some weeks ago I played with an idea to have Pharo Kernel as the base of Squeak. I compared the images to see how much work it would constitute. I found out two things: - it would not require too much work. It would be not simple but it is possible - there is no reason to do that
I can imagine Squeak as an extension of Pharo but I do not see the purpose and target users of the resultant system. -- Pavel On Sun, Apr 15, 2012 at 2:15 PM, Edgar J.
