I am also fascinated by these subjects, I am currently studying and reverse engineering the whole Juice / Slim Binaries thing. (Just to learn more about them in detail). Impressive stuff indeed, but not easy to comprehend.
- nabla9 8y agoIt would be really nice if you could write out some kind of summary that could work as a starting point and historical record. I studied those things when they came out, but I have forgotten most of it.
- eterps 8y agoYes, I already considered doing that. I am now analyzing hexdumps of actual slim binaries of some straightforward Oberon samples and try to match the details of those with the compiler/loader/linker code and the papers written by Michael Franz and Thomas Kistler. Being able to compile actual slim binaries was already a big challenge (the implementation was only available on old Macs and Win32 platform).
- vidarh 8y agoI'd love to see a writeup of that too. I read the original papers when they came out, and have wanted to do an implementation ever since.
