Hi!

Is there an effort to easily use multi-core or native processes in Pharo? I am thinking about a library that offer a construct like:

future := Runner runInDifferentProcess: [ “This block is run in a different OS process” ]

That would save the image under a different name, use OSSubProcess to launch a new Pharo with no UI.

Is there a library available?

maybe not the full answer you were hoping for, but just you a side thought... One thing I've been curious about for a while is how the system might behave if via FFI you call fork() or clone(), and use Kilon's CPP Bridge [1] for return values. [1] https://github.com/kilon/CPP cheers -ben
