CallBacks!
15 December, 2006
The VM group reciently had a discussion about a proposal to add Callback support to Squeak. It appears that some people have missed the discussion. Speaking as one that was Squeaking without Callback support I would encourage the VM group to carefully review Andreas proposal and I’m looking forward to seeing this very much needed feature on our future VM’s.

Strongtalk VM for RUBY?
30 October, 2006
Many of you are following the latest developments in VM technology. The Strongtalk VM was release as open source by SUN. There is some discussion about using the Strongtalk VM for Ruby. Will Ruby be the first language to benefit from Strongtalk’s Type Feedback optimizations? Will the VM developers in the Smalltalk community step up to help Strongtalk? While a path is being forged it would be nice if we could steer it back towards support for Squeak. Please join the discussion at: http://groups.google.com/group/strongtalk-general

The NewCompiler project
9 October, 2006
The NewCompiler project aims at developing a new compiler to take the place of the one currently in use in the Squeak image. This will bring many advantages: a better integration with the Refactoring Browser subsystem; a cleaner internal structure with better maintainability, and “real” closures that will make the #fixTemps workaround unnecessary.
