Thank you everyone for your help! I've been looking at Squeak/Pharo for a few weeks because I've been creating a platform for knowledge workers to work with information that was going to be a javascript single page application.
For various reasons I think it makes sense not to have a 'web-based' app and was looking for a way to create a beautiful interface atop a powerful tool that I could easily deploy to whatever platform the user may have. This was the last concern I had, so I'm going to go ahead and start whipping up some awesome code.
David,
Just curious... what are your reasons to abandon going for a 'web-based' application in favor of a tool like Squeak?
Was it performance, the lack of IDE in JavaScript, the amount of data to deal with, something else? Does your Squeak app work with a server or is it a single tier app?
