Hey, For 64 bits Spur is a big step forward. For Christmas you should have at least the stack VM in 64bits. The JIT may take a bit longer to port. Esteban and Eliot will work on that starting from May.
There's also the solution to compile the VM in 64bits with a 32bits runtime (I think FFI does not work, but the VM works in 64bits environment, as gettimothy posted on vm-dev). 2014-03-29 13:18 GMT-07:00 Pharo4Stef <pharo4s...@free.fr>: > > On 29 Mar 2014, at 21:16, Roelof Wobben <r.wob...@home.nl> wrote: > > > Pharo4Stef schreef op 29-3-2014 21:07: > >> > >> > >>> Pity. > >> > >> You know there is no magic powder.
