Making Smalltalk on a Raspberry Pi (2020)

I don't know why this popped up again now, but it's nice to see that some people are still interested in this little Smalltalk 80 system (I'm the author, happy to answer your questions...).

Thanks for the article! I'm working on a toy language for a learning/hobby project that is kind of sort of Smalltalkish, so I have been digging up all the things Smalltalk related I could find -- thats why it popped up again. :)

If you happen to know of any decent resources on implementation of Smalltalk VMs I'd love to hear them -- I know that the old and unfortunately out of print book Smalltalk 80: the language and its implementation is commonly recommended.

Have a look at the SOM dialect which is successfully used in education: http://som-st.github.io/

Here is an implementation in C++ which runs on LuaJIT: https://github.com/rochus-keller/Som/

I assume you know this link: http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/FreeBooks/BlueBook/Bluebook....
