Offray: Diversity is good. But we can get too much of a good thing.
For example, I see merit in VisualWorks Appex where Smalltalk and JavaScript are both managed within the System Browser. Additionally, changes to JavaScript made in the Internet browser are picked up by VisualWorks. Now, Appex allows live debugging in both front end and back end. And the combined code is maintained in VisualWorks. Craig Latta is doing something interesting with SqueakJS which is an optimized Smalltalk VM in JavaScript and HTML5. It is supposedly able to run Smalltalk fast inside the browser and access the JavaScript world freely. I think this route will benefit greatly from WebAssembly. Can PharoJS borrow some of these ideas? Pros and Cons?
