If it is a plug-in, why does it need VM recompilation?
Internal plugins require VM recompilation. Only external plugins do not.
It was more of a semantic question, I'd expect a plug-in to be that, pluggable, as you say external plugins are. Or what is the "pluggability" of such plugins? Disclaimer: I don't know about the VM internals (*), and this is not a complain of any sort. I just wonder it is called that way. Regards! Esteban A. Maringolo (*) I did compile a Squeak VM a decade ago (added two primitives) but nothing more than that.
