Welcome to the opensmalltalk-vm wiki!

These are some long-term and short-term ideas for what we might want to agree on and stabilize and push into the image. Some of these are far along, others are just ideas.

Soon

• full block closures
• Sista bytecodeset
• immutable literals
• immutable compiled methods

Mid-term (?)

• explicit reflection api
• explicitly separate reflection and VM interaction (e.g. cache flushes)
• clarify/document VM assumptions about layout of special objects

Long-term (?)

• update method dict layout to store selectors/methods pairwise
