Hi, I am trying to find out what the difference between an VM and an Image is when using Pharo. Can anybody give some hints (links to docs?) Thx Ciao robertj
Hello robert this is explained in Pharo by Example that you can find at http://books.pharo.org <http://books.pharo.org/> Image = snapshot of Pharo memory (contains object including class, method, stackâ¦) VM = execution engine of image S.

An image is like a computer game that can save its state to disk. The VM is for running the game. With a fresh image, you start the game with a clean slate. With a saved image, you restart the game where you last left it. And programming in Pharo is usually as enjoyable as playing a computer game. :-) Pierce
