As you said, there are some related works you can look at: Mini Squeak, Resilient, Smallworld and Squeat <http://vst.ensm-douai.fr/MarianoPhD/7>, That's all I know. Cheers Mariano On Wed, Apr 14, 2010 at 11:10 PM, Michael Roberts <mike@mjr104.co.uk> wrote:

Hi All,
As I continue to translate Pharo to Java as part of the Redline project I wonder, what is the minimum set of classes and methods I need to implement?
...it probably depends on what image you want to run. Are you going to bootstrap or trace an image by hand, or reuse one that already exists?
I ask this because when I go through all the methods in Object I see a lot that I don't think I need to enable the Compiler to work.
Would it be ok to just include those classes and methods that are defined in the Smalltalk-80 Language and it implementation (Blue) book, and the primitives?
...if you wanted to run a Smalltalk-80 image, i guess the answer would be yes. do you have one?
for ideas you could also look at Ian Piumarta's Cola work [1], which has a st-80 class library [2] and an example VM [3]. I haven't looked at it for a while, but you see in the svn view a familiar looking mini.image.
cheers, Mike
