Igor, you're familiar with f-script?

http://www.fscript.org/

not really, why asking?
I know there's plenty of alternatives..
And how do you see f-script could help us?
It is objective-c (or Mac ) oriented. If you would want to use
different platform , then what?


I was pointing to f-script as an example of an existing embedded smalltalk.

The biggest issue with an embedded Smalltalk, IMHO, isn't the VM but the libraries: what do you keep and why?

IMIO that's not the issue. �The libraries you keep and why are those libraries that the embedder wants to use, or that support the libraries that the embedder wants to use. �The VM very much determines the efficiency and complexity of such an interface. �Issues such as does the garbage collector support pinning, or does the interface support call-ins from multiple threads, very much affect the design of an interface, and hence its ease of use.
