[Seaside] Re: [Pharo-project] Jtalk, a Smalltalk for web developers

[Richard Durr]

yes it is:
SMALLTALK

   - Clamato <http://clamato.net/> a Smalltalk dialect that is designed to
   operate within the JavaScript runtime.
   - Silver Smalltalk <http://www.silversmalltalk.com/> [commercial]
   Smalltalk in the browser.
   - JTalk <http://nicolaspetton.github.com/jtalk/> An implementation of the
   Smalltalk language that runs on top of the JavaScript runtime.
