Hello,

I do not like 'Smalltalk evaluate:' either.

One solution is to do 'self class compiler evaluate:'.

Yes IMO, calling #compiler on a class is the best solution since it returns a compiler with the options that the class defines.

In 4.0, we will remove the old compiler and then we can see how to make the API perfect.

Will it be able to decompile by then?

I believe we cannot remove the old compiler if we do not provide something to access the method's sources.

It will have either a decompiler or in-image sources if we achieve to compress them enough (recently a guy compressed the AST in 15Mb by sharing nodes, which is half the size of the sources).
