Specially we the web guys are very interested of such a beast, because we need to develop more in more on the client side and in JavaScript, which is a bit hard, because of our Smalltalk habits, you know :) Even more, Smalltalk on the client (Clamato way) can also solve one of the main JavaScript problems: debugging on the client side. If we can have near the same debugger on the client as we have in our IDE's, well, this would be a huge step forward. > If the attempt is a reinterpretation a Smalltalk base development environment > would make a difference in the ecosystem we must check if we aren't flared > by our preference of languages versus operational pragmatics. > > If the idea is to have such environment to the present (and sadly minute) > community of Smalltalk developers, probably the effort would attend to a > very small clientèle and the returns will be elusive and the project will > end orphan. -- Janko Mivšek AIDA/Web Smalltalk Web Application Server http://www.aidaweb.si
