Good to know. I'll have to think about how this plays together with the "classic" architecture.
This is why I am in general not a fan of this idea of code trying to be compatible on that levelâ¦
To me what fascinated me about Squeak was not to be slavishly compatible to ST80, but to do and do *more*. To take the philosophy and push it further⦠but that can *not* be done if one want to 100% backward compatible on an implementation level forever...
I think my next talk at ESUG will be âWhy I am not a Smalltalkerâ. :-)
lol :D
I know what you mean. I'll have to see what happens with Squeak 6. Maybe we'll reach a point where it becomes easier to maintain two separate versions. As long as there are users in Squeak I want to support them (maybe I'll do a survey in the Squeak community at that point, it could also be an option to drop support for Squeak if they don't use Fuel).
It was explained to me, when I said âWe did Pharo to have a futureâ, that *nobody* in the Squeak community wants or ever wanted to have a future. So why waste even 5 minutes on that? Marcus
