Hi, I'm a newbie here, and will be taking a GLASS (Gemstone Linux Apache Seaside Smalltalk) workshop next week at the Santa Fe Complex. http://sfcomplex.org/wordpress/2009/03/glass
Dave West, who's sponsoring the workshop, suggested we look at several object technologies, including Squeak and LK. This brings up two questions: 1 - What is the relationship between Squeak and LK? For example, can Squeak on a server "talk" to a browser on a client? Does it somehow integrate into Squeak? 2 - Javascript needs care in handling .. Doug Crockford's nifty book Javascript, the Good Parts, along with his website: http://javascript.crockford.com/ .. strongly suggests Javascript, when handled correctly, forms a very good object platform. But the trick is building up the subset of the language that is useful and safe, and finding the right patterns of use that makes it "Squeak-Lite". So the question is: have you a document showing how to use Javascript as you did building LK? How to build a nifty object system out of Javascript? It certainly is a surprising language when you take a close look. -- Owen Owen Densmore http://backspaces.net http://redfish.com http://sfcomplex.org _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://livelykernel.sunlabs.com/mailman/listinfo/general
