While I dream of a world where everything is in-image as pure Smalltalk, given the reality of limited manpower, I think of outside library use as a way to "cheat" and get a lot more from that limited engineering resource. I look forward to the mythical day where "everything's done" and we can come back around and replace some of these with Smalltalk, but then of course we'll own the maintenance. That said, as you pointed out, bugs seem to be more severe and difficult to diagnose, so we'll see how it goes as FFI use becomes more and more common... ----- Cheers, Sean -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
