Talking about interoperability. I did some experiment a while ago about making Squeak talk to Java using sockets. Java classes are accessible within Squeak, and reflection is used to invoke methods. People interested in this could ask for further info. Cheers, Alexandre On 16 Oct 2008, at 09:55, Lukas Renggli wrote:
But then, the new FFI of Eliot seems to be far, far better then the old one. It would be nice to have that instead. E.g, it supports callbacks nicely and is much faster.
Go Eliot, go! It is crucial that Smalltalk gets better bindings with the outside world. It should be easy (as with Python or Ruby) to integrate some external C library.
I hope the new FFI doesn't need to hack the Smalltalk language and compiler.
