[Pharo-project] New Compiler

March 4, 2009

      Hi,

Marcus Denker and myself will be working on the New Compiler for
Pharo. We have a plan draft of the steps that need to be followed in
order to get it up and running in Pharo:

1.- Write good tests for each module  parse, check, codeGen, execute
and check if works. First simple example, and then complex ones. Test
recompilation too.
2.- Performance, how long does it take compared to the old compiler.
3.- Error messages: at least like in the old compiler.
4.- Introduce Eliot's Closures.

Soon we will have a more detailed and formal list of thing to be done.

Cheers,

Jorge Ressia
