Abstract

Huemul is a new implementation of Smalltalk. It is built under the principle of reuse of existing technologies. It aims to be compatible with Smalltalk 80 at the language level. Huemul does not interpret Smalltalk code. It translates methods directly to machine code, and they are kept like that in the image. With this approach, virtual machine code is kept to the bare minimum.
