Yes. Probably they are concerned because they are so much slower than us ;) http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/performance.php?test=meteor Don't get discouraged. The VM is frightening and mysterious to many, but with the help of Igor, Mariano, and others around to write blogs, answer questions, improve the build process, and lead the charge to improve, it seems that working on the VM is becoming more and more accessible/common... Even last year at ESUG, with 1 year using Smalltalk, I found building and working on the VM frustrating and confusing. But now, esp. with Jenkins/git/etc, it's a snap, for example, to build debug VMs, step through execution, and even submit VM patches. Let's keep our great energy and progress multiplying...
