Hi Edgar, some weeks ago I played with an idea to have Pharo Kernel as the base of Squeak. I compared the images to see how much work it would constitute. I found out two things: - it would not require too much work. It would be not simple but it is possible - there is no reason to do that I can imagine Squeak as an extension of Pharo but I do not see the purpose and target users of the resultant system. -- Pavel On Sun, Apr 15, 2012 at 2:15 PM, Edgar J.

I would not waste time with that... we will improve Pharo constantly, and it will be very hard (if not impossible) to keep some kind of compatibility layer on a binary code level between Pharo, Squeak and Cuis.
And what do you get out of it? Wouldn't it be better to use the time to improve one system and make sure that system has a future?

And if none of actual forks have all as I wish? All have some good and all have some problem for me. It's why try to learn from all here and all in Squeak and from Juan.
