Well, I've been on a squeak kick for a while now.... I've done some work getting seaside doing some displaying of pictures and now I'm really pumped about a project I just discovered called: Exupery: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/3842
I've just read the articles in the bibliography section: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/5792
and now I've downloaded the source code and got the image running. I'd like to see what Bryce Kampjes' has done here in this project.
What's cool about this project is that Bryce thinks that with a bit of work on a background compiler with some aggressive inlining of code and some SSA optimizations he can achieve C-level performance with squeak smalltalk! Solving one of the most persistent complaints about Smalltalk that it is slow (certainly no where as slow as MRI) Post a comment if you can tell me what MRI stands for.
