I really, really wish that we had a vm that worked on AWS Lambda… I think this is the future of computing - and I would dearly love to understand the “smalltalk” approach to function as a service (FAAS). In particular how you debug apps.
I was struck by Phil’s demo at Pharo days, where he talked about debugging XMPP apps, and how he could… when I run Node apps on Lambda, it works, but its incredibly unproductive both in debugging and deploying small changes. I really think we have much nicer solutions in the Smalltalk world - but I have no idea if we could get a smalltalk vm to work in Lambda or the google app engine alternative. As indicated here - I don’t want to spend time worrying about servers any more - I just want to call cloud functions and write my code….
