Hi,
I am tempted ;-) by the following message on Pharo's download page:
---
The minimal image is a reduced version of Pharo 7.0 (alpha): You have
the most basic environment and you can interact with it via command
line. WARNING: For hackers only!
---
What kind of hacking has been done with this image in the past ?
Can this image be used as a swiss-army knife for st (ala busybox in GNU)?
The image is small enough to ship as part of regular VM binary and
plugins. If pharo (binary) is run without any image, this image can be
used as a fallback to run st scripts. At launch time, we know underlying
platform OS and architecture, so we could move a lot of
platform-specific vm code into such st scripts.
Or, we could use it within Makefiles to build plugins outside of src tree.
