Re: [Pharo-project] A radical proposal (to cut down dead code)

May 29, 2011


      Hi Aik-Siong--

     I agree with Markus that dead code is a huge problem, in its
obstruction to understanding.
...
What is desirable is to remove dead code from application images that
are ready for distribution. VisualWorks has RuntimePackager to strip
the application image before distribution. Pharo should have
something like that.
The alternative is to build an application by importing needed code
into a bare bone image. Is Spoon trying to do this?
Yes. My intent is that no one need ever strip an image again.


     thanks,

-C
