  Hi,

  GNU Smalltalk uses an embedded Lightning 1.x if built with --enable-jit.

  I believe I lost most if no all emails I did exchange about porting
lightning 2.x to work with gnu smalltalk.

  Last time I tested, a few months ago, I believe only the debugger test failed.

  But I tested a very old branch, with patches at
https://github.com/pcpa/smalltalk/compare/master...scratch-lightning-branch

  Please check if you can get some GNU Smalltalk contact. I would like
to talk with any person involved again.
