Yesterday I had a look at AppeX (from Cincom in VW) and gave a test drive to Tide in Pharo/Amber.

AppeX is interesting as it allows one to embed javascript code directly in methods.

Like:��

myMethod: x {

�� // this is javascript here.

�� ��alert('Welcome ' + x);

}

This indeed reduces the friction between Smalltalk and Javascript (which we still need to write somewhere, for example with JSStream / JSFunction in Seaside or elsewhere).

Since we do now have OpalCompiler and compiler override possibilities, how hard would it be to look into this?��

I remember Helvetia from Lukas which looked like something similar.
