Hi,

...or we need to get Squeak running inside/on-top-of Dalvik somehow.

Weird ideas:
        - PotatoSqueak is a port of the Squeak VM to java. Run that on Dalvik
and hey...
        - PySqueak using Pypy could probably generate a fast Squeak VM running
in java bytecode which possibly also could be run on Dalvik.

Well the original discussion on the Squeak ML declined into the OLPC
issues (back to Intel that is ;)

Let's continue here.

Thanks for the hints, I looked into these projects, but:

Potato Squeak (JSqueak) doesn't seem alive. I tried to run it on my PC
with some recent Java (don't remember which version, same as I use to
compile Android stuff). Very slow, crashed all the time. Plus image
version is 2.x ...

PySqueak seems like the repo is gone. Also, it's old too.

Anyway, wrt translation of Squeak/Pharo VM to Java. How much labor
would it take to change VMMaker so it generates Java code instead of
C? Given some similarity between the two languages syntax?

I need to move on with the native port because my endpoint is in a
concrete application rather than the port itself. But would anyone be
interested in adjusting VMMaker?

Thanks.
