> 
> Hi folks,
> 
> To take full benefit of current internet browsers, tons of lines of
> Javascript have to be written.
> 
> We (the Smalltalkers) don't like to edit files to program, we want to
> code in the refactoring browser!
> 
> This project is an attempt to generated Javascript from plain-normal
> Smalltalk code.
> 
> You can find an entry for the project at SqueakMap and SqueakSource...
> Most of the times the newer version resides on Squeaksource.

> 
> The current version allows to host a TestRunner on browsers, full
> written in Smalltalk code (and translated to JS).  It also includes a
> set of "base" classes to simulated an small Smalltalk environment.
> Inspectors are also available.
> 
> You can see how the TestRunner looks at:

> Also, just in case you don't want to install the package, you can see an
> HTML (full generated from Squeak) including the generated JS code at:

> 
> Most of the Smalltalk semantic is respected in the translator, the
> current absences are:
> - Support for class variables.
> - Support for instance-class variables.
> - Support for "super" in class-methods. (super works fine in instance
> methods)
> 
> All these points can be solved, and they will as soon as I need them.
> BTW any collaboration is accepted ;-)
> 
> The generated code runs fine in Firefox 1.5, IE and Konqueror (May be it
> also works on Safari).  It doesn't work on Opera.
> 
> 
> My next goal is to create a set of widgets, for the browsers, using
> ST2JS for the JS production and my previos Comet project to mount an
> Observer-pattern distributed between Squeak and the internet browsers.
> 
> I think there are a good set of interesting things to try, like:
> 
> - Port the Spoon minimal set of objects to JS.  (I mean, translate ST to
> JS).  The performance will be awful, but every internet-browser can be
> converted in a Smalltalk environment!

> Enjoy it!
