Hi all
we got an extremely positive ESUG. Thanks all of you for your great software: Thanks Gary it was great to see you. Now I would like to summarize some of the discussions we got.
For milestone1 -----------------
- we will integrate the Polymorph package of gary. This means we may try to remove some old morphic and integrate really gary's work. Now this task could be continued further in milestone 2.
- gary could you send around (not only to adrian) the etoy removal so that we do it?
- Marcus plans to integrate the stack interpreter made by eliot so that we will get fullclosures.
The stack interpreter and closures are two distinct things: closures are one things (some primitives, some compiler changes). This we should integrate ASAP (then we can port the newcompiler to emit this closure code). So Closures is in milestone 1, definitely. The stack-stuff is an interpreter that uses the C-Stack. This is not yet released (10-20% faster the current vm). It will be released soon, thus it likely can be in milestone 1, too.
For milestone 2 ------------------- - GTK binding
Optional or replacing morphic? Marcus -- Marcus Denker -- denker@iam.unibe.ch http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~denker
