What is "easy" to do is to re-write (just in case it's needed) your
objects in a way that translation to JS becomes posible.

To do that, ST2JS uses a similar approach that SLang>>C translator.  You
can insert conditionals statements in this way:

   self
      jsLiteral: '/* plain JS code */'
      inSmalltalk: [ "Smalltalk code" ].

Of course you can put this type of statements only in "base" classes.

Not, it's not posible.

What is posible is to create an "ST process" inside the internet-browser
using just generated JS code.  It will be very slow, but any browser can
become a Smalltalk environment without any installation at all.

Let me stated in this way: If they like what they get with plain-JS
code, may be they'll motivated to download and install the "real" spoon.
