No, there isn't always a need for a VM: Smalltalk's been demoed running directly on a Mitsubishi chip, and you could always program an FGPA or similar as your _machine_. And as I mentioned, the Stack VM already runs on the Raspberry, so assumed that Phil wanted something _more_ than that, and that's running the image directly on hardware (or similar, like SqueakNOS). frank > It would be very interesting to think on going one step further and try to > make sqnos compatible with the new cogvm and pharo 2.0.
