Hi guys, all comparisons are unfair I know but this is only to make you guy aware of this (please ignore if you're already). Here is the thing: The Jeff Bezos' Electricity Metaphor: http://www.ted.com/talks/jeff_bezos_on_the_next_web_innovation.html Makes (probably) any smalltalker remember the Alan Kay's talk about having in the internet an IP for every object and spectacular computer science ideas like that. The js everywhere trend makes a lot of sense. Once it achieves critical mass it might tempt intel and friends to do some hardware accelerator for js VM's. Who knows. We have a long way to go but, in the meantime, all js staked frameworks make a lot of sense and WILL get traction because of that. Example: http://www.wakanda.org/ A talk here: https://vimeo.com/31603156 So.. the unfair question here would be: What we'll have to match that competitiveness? sebastian o/ PS: Pharo + WebSockets + Amber sounds in that line doesn't?
