The interface already looks better (more native) than VW ,
much less Squeak.
Yes...very much the Dolphin model, it seems. If that's what you're
looking for, then Ambrai is going to be an excellent choice, I think.
Unfortunately they seem to have chosen to implement it in Carbon,
which plays havoc with my Emacs/Cocoa reflexes :-(
Anyway, my (spare) energy is currently focused on Objective-
Smalltalk, which is coming along very nicely. This is 100%
integrated with the Objective-C runtime, as it really only
represents an alternate (simpler) syntax for sending Objective-C
messages to Objective-C objects and working with variables (local,
instance, customized). In fact, it achieves my long-term goal for
CocoaSqueak, the Objective-C bridge and the Objective-C code
generator: a Smalltalk where there really isn't any distinction
between the VM and the objects sitting "on top" of the VM. Put
another way: an object system whose VM is implemented by sending
(standard) messages to objects that are visible from, and could be
implemented in, the system.
So, if I'm reading this correctly... You're essentially building Obj-
C objects... but binding, say, OCMethodImplementation to the selector
(via a trampoline or JIT or something)? Maybe with message semantics
for small types like floats and ints?
Cheers,
Marcel
