Are you saying that none of the JS was manually written or that some of it was 
and the rest is coming from an imported library.   I’m looking at the page in 
Chrome dev tools now.   

 

 

Exactly. That's the whole point of having PharoJS :-)

 

Exactly.  But then I don’t understand Cincom’s motivation for architecting 
AppeX the way it did.

 

The HTML file imports 2 js file. One is the MatterJS library, and the other is 
generated by PharoJS

 

I prefer the DSL approach of PharoJS.  The code is clean, brief, clear, and 
anglogrammatical.   Easy to do in Smalltalk.  Hard to impossible with JS.  With 
AppeX you need to read and apparently write a good amount of JS.  What’s the 
point?  Much of the utility of Smalltalk is then lost except the debugging is 
better.
