Re: [Pharo-dev] 64-bit Pharo

64-bit Pharo

by horrido

I understand that Pharo is currently 32-bit. I was wondering whether this was a significant impediment to Smalltalk adoption, esp. in the enterprise. I'm always hearing developers wanting 64-bits in their applications. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/64-bit-Pharo-tp4797744.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Thank you , well I consider myself more an artist and then a coder :) This one took over 100 hours to make in Blender but was a great excuse to learn Blender as I am newcomer to 3d graphics in general.

Very nice! I will use it (credited) in the SRP. You're a better artist than I am.
