If you can think of other benefits to Strongtalk other than “it makes jit compiling better” then why say that there is no reason for it to exist if Smalltalk’s design makes it easy to JIT?
- pjmlp 5y agoPython is not even able to do the basic Smalltalk part, so it doesn't matter what StrongTalk brings into the picture.
- orf 5y agoOk now we are on the same page about there being a need for Strongtalk other than “it may or may not JIT better” we will loop back a few comments and try again: I’d say the lack of control flow structures and message passing would make it far, far easier to JIT.
