The article talks about Java Virtual Machine running dynamic languages like Scala and Clojure in addition to Java. What prevents the Smalltalk Virtual Machine from running Java, Scala, Clojure and other JVM languages? Is that something we can ride on to greater awareness and usage of Smalltalk Virtual Machine and Smalltalk?
Well, nothing atually:-) It's already done. Smalltalk/X virtual machine can run Java bytecode and thus all sort of JVM languages :-) Cheers, Jan [1] https://swing.fit.cvut.cz/projects/stx-libjava [2] Marcel Hlopko, Jan KurÅ¡, Jan Vraný, and Claus Gittinger.
