Hi

I would really like to know the status of the newcompiler for pharo?

- when do you think we will be able to use it?
- what is left to do?
- how can people help?
- is there a way to get something compiled in between?

so I go back to preclosure or just hack the old compiler?

Hi Stef.

I'll be a user of the NewCompiler (for SecureSqueak) so I have an interest in it, to the point of fixing it if it doesn't work. This will probably happen in 6 months time or so.

In particular, I am planning to use the IR (in NewCompiler-IR) as a format for sending code across a network connection in my projects. This will be part of SecureSqueak's core architecture and stored with classes, so it must be perfect.
