That is wonderful news!
Didier, There is a natural question that arises: what are the performance implications of Smalltalk or Java? Why not C with a Smalltalk wrapper? I have not tried number crunching with Cog or NativeBoost doing some of the expensive lifting, but absent those advantages, the benefit from coding tight loops in C has been nothing short of eerie. I have never tried Java for it. If there is a speed boost to be had, would a port offend you? I am a pragmatist, so it would begin one function at a time, chosen by the type of work I do and driven by when the machine grunts.
Thanks,
Bill
