opensmalltalk-vm

The web version uses squeakjs and a 32bit image. There's also: https://github.com/nmingotti/The-Cuis-CookBook/wiki/Run-Cuis... And: https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev/blob/ma... Which points to 64 and 32 bit VMs: https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/releases The cuis smalltalk images are in the repo, eg: https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev/blob/ma... https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev/blob/ma...

It appears that they're in the 'build' folder for the platform in question, e.g.: https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/blob/Cog/b...

How would you explain then that LuaJIT is so much faster than CPython? Even the interpreter of LuaJIT is much faster. > The only way to speed it up would be to change the language. What specifically? Most of your points are not related to the language. And even current Smalltalk engines are much faster than CPython (see https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm).

Squeak was ported to iOS right after the iPhone came out. The virtual machine only had an interpreter back then but, as you said, there is not reason why the JIT (called Cog) couldn't be used as well. Apple has never allowed it on the app store (but applications built with it have been allowed as long as they are completely closed) so people can't get it, but that is a non technical issue. The needed code is at https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/tree/Cog/p...

The traditional problem embedding is that the VM did a lot of window configuration before the image started. This has all been stripped out of the "minheadless" builds, which have defined a "virtual machine interface" used like... https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/blob/Cog/p... and... https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/blob/Cog/p...

You’d have to ask the developers what the current status is, but I see the Pharo VM does have an iOS directory. https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/tree/Cog/p...

- - The PharoVM is now part of OpenSmalltalk initiative - What's the OpenSmalltalk initiative? Pharo used a fork of the CogVM [1] for some time which has been moved to GitHub and is now called OpenSmalltalkVM [2]. For Pharo 6.0, the team has merged their changes back into the OSVM repository.

Recent versions of the OpenSmalltalk VM [1] now support macOS Sierra. The latest version can be found at [2]. [1] https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm [2] https://bintray.com/opensmalltalk/vm/cog/_latestVersion#file...

Soulmate of yours here: https://clementbera.wordpress.com Lots of optimizations going on for OpenVM. https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm Interesting bit: VM is written in Slang and transformed into C then compiled. So you can livecode your VM. In the VM simulator.

I recently started looking into what's new with Pharo Smalltalk and associated projects since last I had a look... There are many that are underrated, like the new(ish) cog virtual machine: https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm Cuis Smalltalk: https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev SquakJS: https://github.com/bertfreudenberg/SqueakJS and it's inspiration, lively: https://github.com/LivelyKernel/LivelyKernel A vr community tool/framework for the web in the spirit of open croquet / openqwaq: https://github.com/virtual-world-framework/vwf And last, but not least: https://github.com/moosetechnology/Moose "Moose is an extensive platform for software and data analysis. Moose is an open source software. It was started at the Software Composition Group from University of Bern in 1996, and is currently contributed to and
