This is amazing. I can't wait to have a bootstrap.��
You cannot - well I guess you specifically can but most
people can't - realize how difficult it is currently to edit
some Kernel classes such as MethodContext. I edited it for
Pharo-40003 and it was really hard. With a bootstrap it will
be much simpler.
Recently Eliot wrote an offline converter to convert from a
Pharo image to a Spur Pharo image. Same issue, he had to edit
the kernel (including SmallInteger class !) and it was so
difficult that he did an offline converter instead of a
script. I do not even know if a script would have been
possible. With a bootstrap he would just have needed to edit
the sources from which the bootstrap starts.
I am astonished by the work you did and by the work of
Guillermo Polito about the bootstrap, and I can't wait to have
it and to use it.
The first step is great. Please keep going.
