Nice, a new update. I remember playing with both small-js and Amber a longtime ago. Very cool projects but I am not a JavaScript developer so I always had friction using both projects so I settled on Pharo. Off topic: if you like long running image based development you can also get that with some lisps, for example, SBCL with frequently writing a new core image file - easy to do and good for applications where you have a massive amount of in-memory persistent data you work with.
>SmallJS is file based, not image based, so you can develop in your favorite IDE
This project is nice, however if we don't have a specific, client-side IDE for interactive development, 70% of the power of Smalltalk is gone (one of the criticisms I give to Ruby)
How would one do to push changes to the web frontend (browser) without stopping the program ?
Hi all, I'm the creator of SmallJS,
and was wondering why its GitGub star count had suddenly shot up :-).
Feel free to ask me any any questions here. I'll try to respond to some. Here's a short presentation that has fallen off the News page: https://small-js.org/News/Why_SmallJS.pdf
