Michael This is not a question for us. Let us face it seriously we are not expert on VM building
That is right. So this is a problem changing the code and maintaining our own vm. It's too much work without the necessary expertise. But on the other side the combination of vmmaker/slang/c does also not attract anyone to get into the vm stuff. So we would be bound to that a long time. Wouldn't Spy (http://pypysqueak.blogspot.com/) be a benefit in the long run. I'm very interested in vm stuff (at the moment just reading). For me it is much more attractive approach I would try to dive into. My opinion is that it is more flexible and opens worlds like LLVM (http://llvm.org/) and friends for us. What do you think?
for the moment. Now we may start to build them. And yes using git would be a good idea. Stef
A lot of people are using git these days. So this must have something good. Norbert

Knowing that I'm touching flame bait here, but how is the general consensus on continuing to use VMMaker and Slang for generating VMs? Alternatives could be pure C code and/or code management using Git.
