- xkriva11 5y agoI ported many projects between different Smalltalk versions, and I never had a bit of feeling that the image concept caused the related issues. Smalltalk implementations are just doing some things differently. The language ANSI standard is too minimal for practical purposes and obsolete. To ruin your basic premise: Common Lisp also uses the image concept, and it is famous for good stability and compatibility among different implementations.
