Thanks! I tried it a bit and I'm officially impressed with its performancce ^^;
I had a simple serializer/materializer that only handles class definitions and compiled methods (and initialization of classes). But Fuel seems faster than that for a factor of two or so for reading methods. (Mine was more on simplicity so it has only a few methods and does some slow way to read sized-strings, as well as generous 4 byte padding. It does make difference when it comes to performance.)
Sounds great! Do you have it in a public repository?
Sure. It is here: https://github.com/yoshikiohshima/SqueakBootstrapper The system is just enough to load a compiler so it does not handle curly braces nor pragmas or primitives. But By setting the path to the Squeak VM in the Makefile, it should run on major platforms where the VM takes command line arguments. -- Yoshiki
