I'm love'in this project and am encouraged to see progress on a timely basis. I'm a Smalltalker with app-building expertise. Much of what is being described in the details of this project is over my head.
However, my biggest complaint about building and deploying eCommerce systems based on Smalltalk, is the lack of scalability and performance when traffic and workloads become a bottleneck (due to Smalltalk's historic lack of true multi-threading and ability to fully utilize today's multi-core CPUs). Multi-image deployments are a band-aid in my opinion.
ZagSmalltalk will hopefully be a significant game changer and resolve the above mentioned limitations. Also, being compatible with Pharo is a big win. Hats off to Dave and those contributing to this project.
