Being connected to the internet is going to be a necessity for any piece of software in the immediate future. So every Smalltalk development environment or application should have that capability as default. To push that envelop, every image should have a Smalltalk native Internet Browser. By developing that Internet Browser, we are demonstrating the power of Smalltalk. There is no reason why Smalltalk cannot be as intimate to the World Wide Web as Javascript. We can have the IDE in Smalltalk, Internet Browser in Smalltalk and a WWW language in Smalltalk. As is uniquely Smalltalk, every bit of code is visible, modifiable and debuggable. This supped up environment will grow and grow to be a full OS.
How can we gather the relevant Smalltalk code and necessary plugins to make an Internet Browser? I remember Croquet had internet browser and video player. What is missing?
All the best, Aik-Siong Koh
html5, javascript, etc... Good luck! What is the size of teams for building Firefox, Safari or Edge? Just browse https://github.com/mozilla for curiosity For example, just the core: https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev Not sure that the million $ that Tim is asking regularly would bring us any close to those references. You'll have to implement a bunch of technologies... At least, the good point is that it would make sure that we have a truly open smalltalk ;)
