Not that I have anything against Amber, but why pick that one ? Everybody seems to think something along the lines of 'JavaScript is very popular, if only we get on that platform and we'll be all set' - I don't think that is the case. Even Amber's original developer is now working full time on JavaScript, yet does no longer seem to use it. Also, on technical grounds it could be argued that Amber misses a number of critical Smalltalk features (thisContext, #become:). Furthermore, it is slower and has a only a limited IDE. Other than that, focus is good. > For the time being, I'll cut back on my tweets and Facebook and Google+.
