Bonjour Stef, I believe the change everyone would be waiting for is a Multi-threaded VM, that supports threaded callouts and callbacks. So I suppose the questions become: - will existing NB syntax require change with the introduction of a MTVM? - to what degree will NB syntax need to be extended to support threaded callouts. - what NB syntax changes are needed for callbacks. - timing: when is MTVM expected and can we operate on the leading edge? Personally, in SqueakElib, I have my network and session layers working for encrypted connections, so I just have the presentation layer to go. Once done, I would be very interested in working in the VM with whomever is also interested with an eye towards threading (MTVM). I am no expert here so it will be a challenge I am looking forward to. Regards, Robert On 10/16/2015 06:59 AM, stepharo wrote:
In pharodays presentations we explictly mentioned our strategy: - we keep NB syntax - we change the assembly generation to be able to get Spur.

I can tell you that if I could get a lua kind of jit now I would sign immediately and also for having pharo as a dll. Now it takes time to do soemthing.
