I'm interested in building a minimum image from a Pharo-core base. This image would have:
- no GUI/mouse/keyboard. The only interface would be via network connections.
- no processes/interrupts. The network send/receive would be synchronous via a plugin.
- no timer. The date/time would be via a plugin on demand.
- no fallback debugger. Any error fallback would log a message and abort via a plugin.
- possibly a minimal interpreter that didn't include any support for those unavailable features. (The only value in this would be smaller size and hopefully something more comprehensible for code auditing purposes.)
Part of this is already covered by Pavel's minimal morphic/image work. - no timer there is a difference between date/time and the delay/timing framework in the VM. Removing the latter could be "interesting" Everything else you could basically do by creating new Socket classes, changing default error handling etc. Although I'm not quite sure what you would gain from not using the green threads in Squeak/Pharo?
