Hi,
I would like to share a project I'm working on on my spare time: Jtalk
Smalltalk.
http://nicolaspetton.github.com/jtalk
https://github.com/NicolasPetton/jtalk
Jtalk is an implementation of the Smalltalk language that compiles into
JavaScript.
Some features:
- it is written in itself (including the parser/compiler)
- it is self-contained
- it compiles into efficient JS code
- it uses the Squeak chunk format
- Pharo is considered as the reference implementation
I think Jtalk can be compared to CoffeeScript[1], Objective-J[2] or
Clamato[3], from which it reuses some ideas and code.
Jtalk includes an IDE with a class browser, transcript and workspace, an
HTML canvas similar to Seaside and a jQuery binding.
It is still a young piece of code, and some important features are still
missing/incomplete.
Cheers,
Nicolas Petton
