It would be nice to see Pillar return to being a cross platform project as well. One of the beautiful things about Seaside/Magritte/Pier was it���s compatibility across many dialects of Smalltalk. The ���develop in Pharo and deploy in GemStone��� was a big draw for me :) One of my clients uses VW so it was great to have these projects there as well.

Pillar was refactored to use Traits and save duplication of (from memory) about 3 methods, but in doing so it became a Pharo-only project. I asked about this and found there wasn���t an interest in maintaining cross platform compatibility, so I saved a copy on git hub [1] and added a PRPillarGemstoneCodeTool class with a simple method for flattening the traits. My hope was being able to maintain a cross platform version of Pillar and keep Pier updated in a manageable way.

Frustratingly, my work only allows me the occasional sprints in Smalltalk and without a Pier project to work on, I haven���t had the resources to keep it updated.

I���d like to see Pier get some love - it���s an awesome tool. How can I help?
