[Pharo-project] Jtalk, a Smalltalk for web developers
... so this is a Smalltalk on top of JavaScript in a browser. Since one can run JavaScript easily on top of Javas JVM by using Mozillas Rhino (a simple JAR to run JS in a Java app) you should be able to bootstrap JTalk on a java virtual machine too. Performance would be horrible, I guess ... but it would be a fun project to play with. mumble, mumble .... Bye T. -- Schon gehört? GMX hat einen genialen Phishing-Filter in die Toolbar eingebaut! http://www.gmx.net/de/go/toolbar

But much more interesting side-effect for the future is, that Jtalk also runs on Google V8 JavaScript VM! Also on server side, where JavaScript as dynamic language is more and more popular and can be expected to replace once even Java. So, I'd rather bet on JavaScript that Java for the future...
