S8
DIY smalltalk platform
Motivation
"VM" conceptLimited the application/adoption of smalltalk.
A few VM experts in 30years (most smalltalkers do not invest time on it).
Good for customer-provider times, but a break in an open world.
Motivation
The invisible VMIt is not a good idea to build another smalltalk VM (no change).
The V8 VM was similar from start to a high perfomance st vm
(generational GC, no bytecodes, +1000 user base)
S8 project Started +2.5 years ago running on top of V8.
Built a subset that can be published open source, and can run in most javascript VMs.
