[F-Script-talk] Porting FScript to other O.S.: some questions

[Giovanni G. <dai...@gm...>]

Hi!
I have found FScript very nice for a bunch of reasons:

   - It is quite compact, in respect also to tiny Smalltalks  like GNU
   Smalltalk and PocketSmalltalk. It is uncommon to find such compact things in
   SmallTalk land.
   - It has interesting feature like sending message to arrays in one
   instruction
   - Very easy to extend via the Cocoa Framework.
   - Open Source

I have searched a "smaller" SmallTalk in the last few years but without so
much success.

I have counted between 43000 and 60000 lines of code.
The Core Objective C part is 43000 lines

FSCompiler.m is used to generate byte code?
So FScript has also byte-code interpretation?!

How can be difficult to make FScript multi-platform?
For instance,  If we can have a stripped down version of FScript written in
Java or C++, we can spread it also on Linux and Windows.
It needn't to offer the same feature. Even the simple interpreter with a
Plugin Architecture to extend it would be a strong starting point.
What do you think?
