Syx improvements

Hi,
some times ago i talked about my Smalltalk implementation, Syx.
These are the main objectives i reached till now:

• Working on Windows and Linux indifferently, using the Scons build system
  
• Added a very simple garbage collector and memory management
• Added a basic plugin system
• Introduced immediate Characters (like SmallIntegers)
• Exception handling/ensuring
• Image compatible with both 32bit and 64bit format

This is what's next:

• Coalesced hash tables with consistent hash functions
  
• Add system signal handling
• Complete the basic environment
• Implement a strong method caching
• Use non-blocking functions for I/O
• Foreign Function Interface (maybe FFICall?)

Here is the ChangeLog and a screenshot of Gtk+ running inside Syx

Smalltalk YX

Hi,
i'm creating this new Smalltalk-80 vm, based a bit on the blue book, inspired by PDST and Susie, but much different in some aspects.
I talked about it some times ago here:
http://lethalman.blogspot.com/2006/11/new-experimental-smalltalk-version.html

Now, after important refactorings, that are continuing right now, i wished to publish the project under MIT license here: http://code.google.com/p/syx.

Currently, i'm working on speed: i want a fast but complete VM as much as i can trough my very poor knowledges.

At all, i'm learning many things from this project, really... tough it's very close to Little Smalltalk's philosophy, i would like to continue my work even if it could be "yet another insignificant fork", just to learn other cool things about Smalltalk.

Bye!
