vested interest in PharoJS?
Hi all, Is anyone else interested in PharoJS and making it mature for their own commercial mobile and single page web app (and node.js) development? I think it has a huge potential because it brings the browser runtime and many libraries and online services from the JS world to us Smalltalkers while letting us keep our agile development and good CS practices. But it does not yet have the necessary features and documentation to work smoothly. -- Siemen
I want it for bridging Pharo with a browser running aframe.io VR stuff. So that I can render VR scenes and drive them from Pharo. A Seaside aframe.io set of brushes is somewhat underway here. I go to a VR meetup end of the month, so progress should happen by then. Phil On Wed, Jun 14, 2017 at 11:46 AM, Siemen Baader <siemenbaader@gmail.com> wrote:

I thought I responded already. We are interested in pharoJS. We developed stuff with amber but stopped using it. We have one app in the app store with ionic and amber and I'd like to do another one with pharoJS. Additionally I think that combining pharoJS with electron could be a nice thing to have in order to create desktop apps. And finally I was shortly researching native callouts from javascript with javascript core on ios and it seems you can do pharo code, transpile to javascript that calls javascript functions which are OS-native functions.

Very cool, Norbert. I have been watching what you are doing at 2denker and thought you might be interested ;) What is holding you back - do you need more from PharoJS before starting to use it commercially, or are you waiting for a (paid) project before you can start? -- Siemen On Thu, Jun 22, 2017 at 1:08 PM, Norbert Hartl <norbert@hartl.name> wrote:

What is keeping me? A project and the feasibility. The amber project we could do because the project was more of a research project so I said "why not". For anything serious you need to check if it is feasible to use. And my trials with PharoJS were only little so I don't have the feeling, yet, if it is a huge benefit using it. But I feel a huge potential in it so it is on my list of things I wanna try but not on top. Norbert

There seem to be some interesting work with SqueakJS by Craig Latta. https://thiscontext.com/ I hope Smalltalk of all dialects can get together to develop a killer web development environment.
