Adrian's first implementation used a literal array representation

you comment on that?
The first prototype re-used the Smalltalk parser, right. Now we use a
custom scanner / parser as this is faster.
Just because I would like to know for Squeak potential speed.
Why was the VW parser slower?
what kind of optimizations did you use?
The intermediate literal array falls away, now its
Text -> Parser -> some logic -> model objects
using Smalltalk parser its
Text -> Parser -> intermediate array -> some logic -> model objects
I guess Lukas's parser is the fastest you can get
