Congratulations Nicolas. It is really impressive. I'm slowing turning to JS development, and the one thing I miss the most is the Smalltalk syntax, particularly is keyword messaging. On the philosophical side I don't know whether building an entire Smalltalk on top of JS is the long term solution, or if just having a syntax "translation" layer that would allow any Smalltalk developer to benefit from the growing number of JS libraries coming out every day. Maybe having both would be the right fit. JS seems to be this decade "revolutionary" language, and any Smalltalker is closer to the mind-set of JS development than any other static language developer (Java/.net, etc), however I don't know how would a JS based Smalltalk handle things such as prototypes and the use of them (mixins, and so on). Comments aside, congratulations for it. Esteban A.
