Message: [QUOTE="Peter Suk, post: 4465803"] Bill, I'm not *building* a Ruby VM on top of a Smalltalk VM. The Smalltalk VM will be allocating Objects and JIT-ing bytecodes natively. There is almost no Smalltalk in the Smalltalk VMs, and what semantics there are are a very good fit for Ruby anyhow. All I'm doing is providing enough meta-Ruby to enable the Smalltalk VMs to run Ruby (including a Ruby compiler written in Ruby). (But this language defined in itself is a weird concept to most programmers, and I'll probably go blue in the face repeating this.) --Peter [/QUOTE]
