     Well, this is perverse fun. :)  The JavaScript WebSocket API works
from SqueakJS[1], so I guess I'll write a WebSocket server to proxy
peer-to-peer traffic between SqueakJS clients. This will let me
implement the Flow external streaming "primitive" interface, using only
the JavaScript bridge and no actual primitives. That will enable the
Lightning remote messaging protocol, and then Naiad. I'll run the server
on try.squeak.org and any other site that wants to be a Lightning node.

Transcript clear.

		print: data;
		endEntry].

websocket := (
	(JS Object new)
		at: #newWebSocket
		put: (JS Function new: 'return new
WebSocket("ws://echo.websocket.org");');
		newWebSocket).

	at: #onopen
	put: [:event |
		report value: 'opened: ' value: event.
		websocket send: 'hey there'];
	at: #onclose
	put: [:event | report value: 'closed: ' value: event];
	at: #onmessage
	put: [:event |

		websocket close];
	at: #onerror
