Of course using C libraries is an interesting alternative now somebody has to do it written in C = maintain in C then we end up building walls around us, I like the idea that I can learn something by reading and putting a break point in the code. So if the crypto is working in Squeak I suggest to keep it. Igor I would not rewrite it. On May 26, 2009, at 1:04 AM, stepken wrote:

In C programming language we have all, we can imagine. So why reinvent the wheel by rewriting complex code in smalltalk?
Why not including a small webserver in C language as plugin? Code is there.
Same with pdf libs - why not using Display PDF in C code with e.g. PANGO, like Apple did with Mac OS X?
No, instead of doing so, MORPHIC is still there, based on C-LANG blitter code.
In Morphic, i noticed long time ago, there existed the possibility to print every screen object, writing it directly to file, sending it to the printer afterwards. It never worked for me, i tried in 3.6, 3.8, 3.9.
Being abble to print contents out of the box in PDF format, the successor of PS, really would be nice ...
Dear Squeak, Smalltalk, Pharo - developers - Do you still have the overview or are you lost in Smalltalk details?
cheers, Guido Stepken
