Sorry I meant "Do you seriously believe people will give up JS for Amber alternatives ? "

I was talking mainly about the IDE and other areas where Pharo and Amber overlap. I think Amber is awesome for what it is and should be kept developed independently.��

"If your ass is being kicked by��AngularJS��or��Meteor��because you reach the goal faster using those, your next contract is not to be powered by Amber."

is this not the cases if you cannot beat them join them ? Do you seriously believe Amber or Pharo can compete AngularJS , correct me if I am wrong, when behind this framework is Google itself ?��

"In regard to Pharo, becoming Amber friendly is ���attracting javascript people to the smalltalk world��� are you joking? is the best marketing strategy Pharo can dream about!"��

Did I said anything against that ? I agree that is great.

"With some add ons Amber can do the things Meteor does in the front end."��

Thats all great but again I ask why not leverage the power of Meteor.js for Amber and Pharo in the first place and��sprinkle��it with some smalltalk libraries to bring it closer to Smalltalk philosophy ? Isnt this the whole point of doing OOP, to reuse code ?��

Why should it be Amber / Pharo vs the Others ? Instead as "Amber a way to make your favorite javascript libraries even easier and more accessible / dynamic"

Do you seriously believe people will give JS for Amber alternatives ?��

No thats not a best marketing strategy.��
