What yoshiki is doing is quite nice and cool. We started this summer to do the same (without the C compiler).
Now we will see how we can join effort or at least interact or learn from what he did.
Nicolas, Gabriel and Benjamin we should continue :) so that your work is not lost.
Now there are some lessons to learn: when you believe into something, you should do it and not talk.
- I should have worked on that after seen the talk of dave thomas at ESUG at Douai instead of trying to improve squeak.
Now as a researcher papers papers projects money projects...... are slowly killing us.
- I really really happy that we decided to do pharo because at least we are doing something. Thanks you all
for your good energy.

Hi,
We've been playing with John's MicroSqueak and it occured to me that
having a bytecode compiler that is implemented outside of Squeak opens
some possibilities, such as generate a growable image file from all
text files, or make deep changes to the system without shooting
yourself.
I wrote a longer explanation so if you are interested, please go to:
https://github.com/yoshikiohshima/SqueakBootstrapperand check it out.
Thank you!
