Hi Pharo-ites,
I'm working on a port of Pharo to the Java Virtual Machine called Redline Smalltalk. (read more here: http://jamesladdcode.com/?p=323)
Excellent I think that having a smalltalk running on JVM is cool. Did you check SqueakOnJava? http://squeak.cz/public/pub/SqueakOnJava/ or http://news.squeak.org/2008/07/07/potato-version-of-jsqueak-from-hpi/ or littleSmalltalk
I'm wanting to port every single class over time, but initially enough to get the compiler working and have a minimum runtime.
Why do you want to port the compiler in Java? In Java you should only implement the necessary infrastructure to run the object model of Pharo (primitives in particular). Then you can load Smalltalk code and you do not need to compile smalltalk code in smalltalk?
Of the 1600+/- classes which are those necessary to make a small workable compiler and runtime environment?
good question :) study little Smalltalk for example to get an idea.
Rgs, James.
