So, the goal is to create Smalltalk apps that just run on the browser?
Tim responds:
If I remember correctly, Craig is being even cleverer than that. Start in JS in a browser, download Cog if appropriate, download image and start running locally. All seamlessly. With massive buzzword compliance to draw in the hipsters and suck them into our world.
And if that isn’t it, then it should be :-)
Yep, that's what it is. Except it's even more than that. :) Once Cog is running too, SqueakJS makes a remote-messaging connection to it, turning the SqueakJS/Cog pair into a distributed object memory. You can then link up with other SqueakJS/Cog pairs on other machines.
But yes, it starts out as a way of demoing Smalltalk apps in a web browser, without necessarily installing anything.
