  1. Thanks. I know SOM and Smalltalk pretty well and have implemented several VMs myself (see https://github.com/rochus-keller/Som/ and https://github.com/rochus-keller/Smalltalk/ ). SOM was originally designed and implemented by Bak and Lund…

  6. …difficult. I implemented different versions of Smalltalk VMs and conducted measurements (see e.g. https://github.com/rochus-keller/som/#concluding-experiments ). The same benchmark written in plain Lua compared to the SOM version (with…

  7. …are some measurement results comparing the C++ SOM interpreter with a LuaJIT bytecode compiler: https://github.com/rochus-keller/Som#a-som-to-luajit-bytecod... . The bytecode version of the SOM benchmark running on LuaJIT is about factor…

  8. …result of a dedicated study. I made similar observations when using LuaJIT as a SOM backend (see https://github.com/rochus-keller/Som ), but it's not clear why the Gral based SOM implementations are that much faster.

  9. …as an expression. That's quite easy to achieve if you directly generate bytecode. See e.g. https://github.com/rochus-keller/som . > Lua 5.1 has float as the only numeric type It internaly differs between int and float. > Ruby, Python and…

  10. …I also implemented a couple of Smalltalk VMs, see https://github.com/rochus-keller/Smalltalk or https://github.com/rochus-keller/som , and I also spent a lot of time with the GNU ST implementation.
