Quicksilver: Smalltalk implementation in Javascript

If you're into this sort of thing, there's also Clamato by Avi Bryant: http://clamato.net/

It's sad that it isn't openly licensed.

Developers need to eat too...

Work in progress, but seems to be pretty slick and have decent performance.

Right-click on the "desktop" to bring up the toys. :-)

I'm not a dolt, why is the workspace window calling me a dolt? :)

It claims to be 10 x faster than Squeak, wow. OTOH, comparing speed with native Javascript would help too.

"in Javascript" is right. Apparently it's not self-hosting Smalltalk.

Are there any useful applications of Smalltalk for Javascript?

This question is similar to asking "Are there any useful applications of Ruby for the JVM?"

Of course there are. Smalltalk ported to the browser and able to interact with javascript libraries (in this case it is using ExtJS) gives greater flexibility to developers and the language. Any language being ported to a platform (Yes. Javascript is also a platform.) is a boon for both the language and the platform.

Any mirrors?
