Thanks! > I vaguely recall some mention in one of the docs I read a while back that you were having difficulties with the JIT causing noticable pauses/latency in interactive environments like Morphic, comparison to the OpenSmalltalk

It does work with Cuis, but not with Pharo. The reason for this is that TruffleSqueak makes some assumptions about the layout of certain objects (e.g. instances of Class). Those assumptions no longer hold on Pharo, as it derived from the sp

Yes, you can load recent, 64-bit, stock Squeak or Cuis images. Pharo is not (yet) supported. The user interface should be identical. For the polyglot API to work, some additional image-side code [1] needs to be loaded in your image. [1] ht

You can use TruffleSqueak for all languages supported by the GraalVM. Check out the demo videos at https://github.com/hpi-swa/trufflesqueak#demos .

Correct. We had to change the project name. Sorry for the confusion!

Correct, this indicates that recompilation occurred. The first time Graal compiled some of the UI machinery, which is all written in Smalltalk, no input events were triggered in the IDE. Consequently, the partial evaluator removed those cod

The Graal compiler is known to be slow in terms of warmup. At the same time, it provides great peak-performance. However, and as you can see in the video, partial evaluation will trigger recompilation if the program is not "stable&quot

Thanks! > I'd love to just hear more about your experience building this on top of Graal/Truffle. There are lots of good resources for learning how to implement a language in Truffle. In addition to the official documentation a

We compared the runtime performance of GraalSqueak with OpenSmalltalkVM (formerly Cog) and RSqueak (RPython-based VM) in Figure 4 of our MPLR’19 paper [1] for the first time. Since then, we've worked on a couple of performance optimiza

Thanks! RE your question: Squeak's scheduler (also written in Smalltalk) would need to be extended with support for multi-threading. Since that requires a significant amount of work, it's probably out of the scope of the project a

Happy to hear that! If you'd like to see some Smalltalk tools rendered in Java Swing, check out this demo [1]. More details on this are in the blog post on our Polyglot Programming seminar [2]. [1] https://www.youtube.com&#x
