  1. The VisualWorks Environment

  2. Smalltalk Run-Time Architecture • Virtual Machine + Image + Changes and Sources • Image = bytecodes • Sources and changes = code (text)

  3. Runtime Architecture • The byte-code is in fact translated into native code by a just-in-time compiler. • The source and the changes are not necessary for interpreting the byte-code, this is just for the development. Normally they are removed for deployment. • An application can be delivered as some byte-code files that will be executed with a VM. The development image is stripped to remove the unnecessary development components.
