Re: [Pharo-dev] The Second Coming of Java article

But the problem is that the *semantics* are still that of Smalltalk, and it’s completely not clear for the programmer where the similarity ends.

If you want to have “I can type in examples from my ruby book” compatibility, you need to implement the real semantics, which in many cases means to re-implement the VM of that other language (in a very slow version) on top of your VM which does not really have the properties to support those semantics.

Just imagine things like that... https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat :-) Marcus
