Hi guido
This is good to have people with kicking ass arguments. Thanks for that.
Now pay attention that you do not fall only in this category because
after a while
this will get the inverse effect to what you want to achieve.
Because I imagine that you want us to be much better and we will try
hard.

This is a nice idea. We got somebody here working on similar ideas.

I have problem with this statement since on VW with a jit I imagine
that lot of the lookup
gets cached already.

Can I get LSWVST running on my machine a mac? Now I imgaine that if I
could
I should not look at the code for license reasons.
I like the idea of DNG because I was sad to see Dolphin disappear. Now
it does not
work on my machine since now more than 10 years.

I have a question: why don't you use LSWVST?
I would have used Dolphin long time ago if I could have. Now we will
build something
open and free for the community.
And communities are important else Smalltalk would be just a nice idea
in the museum.
