I understand that Pharo is currently 32-bit. I was wondering whether this was a significant impediment to Smalltalk adoption, esp. in the enterprise. I'm always hearing developers wanting 64-bits in their applications. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/64-bit-Pharo-tp4797744.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
We (eliot and esteban/others) are working on a 64 bits VM and plugins. I will then be easier to have 64 and 32 bits than only 64 bits.

The only place I have found it to be a showstopper is with trying to interface libraries that are closed source and only distributed as a 64bit version. Doesn't happen very often though.
