What if we ask one of existing commercial PaaS providers to add Smalltalk among the languages of choice? This way we achieve one-click Smalltalk cloud apps the fastest way for sure.
Right now I'm looking at AppFog http://www.appfog.com. This is CloudFoundry based PaaS provider over the Amazon, Rackspace and Azure IaaS providers. It supports also "unusual" languages like Erlang and Go [1], so maybe they are open for Smalltalk too. James, AppCloud is located in Portland, Gemstone as well, so you are neighbors :) Do you think it would be wise to make a contact with them to start discussing the possibilities?
