SqueakJS VS Smalltalk

It actually gets more complicated because there are ports of Squeak descendants than run in-browser. https://squeak.js.org is a Smalltalk virtual machine written in Javascript and that has allowed some crazy browser based stuff. https://pharojs.org PharoJS is a slightly different approach. It provides tools to deploy your Pharo developed code into the browser. Source: almost 2 years ago

Oh sorry, HN usability played with our hearts :D The message was meant to this other dev, quite cool mind map: https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz And I'm impressed by what you have done there. I even played a bit of DOOM heh. Your project reminded me a little bit of https://squeak.js.org in the sense of having a full OS like thing in the browser. Congrats for the achievement! - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

So there is [1] https://squeak.js.org/ and [2] https://github.com/codefrau/SqueakJS which seems to be able to not only run Squeak, but also [3] https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev/wiki/Run-Cuis-in-the-Web-Browser.-(SqueakJS) and [4] https://github.com/carolahp/pharo on common JS-runtimes in acceptable speeds. There is also [5] https://caffeine.js.org/ and [6]... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

Also, it's not really an "operating system", nor was it implemented by the ST. It's just part of Squeak (you got the name right), the "engine" Scratch 1.x was made with (which lets you edit the code in the same window it's running in). Source: about 1 year ago

Just downloaded https://squeak.org/ to play around with this concept. I wonder if there is already a modern tool/suite for Node/Python inspired by Smalltalk... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

AFAIK the major SmallTalk distributions are https://squeak.org/ and https://pharo.org/. I've heard that Pharo is more complex and "practical", while Squeak is more educational and beginner-friendly. But both stick to their roots with "everything is an object or method", extreme reflection, and integrated runtime/IDE. Source: about 1 year ago

Your concept looks nice, it reminds me a bit of the Lisperati: https://www.hackster.io/news/the-lisperati1000-is-a-cyberdeck-terminal-dedicated-to-lisp-programming-bb564f2ffcff So, did you consider Lisp or maybe Smalltalk? Plan 9 or Inferno might also be options. Plan 9 comes in different variants, the "classic" one (with a Raspberry Pi port by Richard Miller) or 9front, an Inferno porting tutorial can be found at... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
