Wow, a live coding web based Smalltalk environment! What a great topic for a tech discussion! And maybe a discussion on how this could sort of thing could be the future - the original dream of Sir Tim Berners-Lee of a real "read write" web, where people are no longer passive consumers of content pushed on them by large corporations?
Instead - 5 separate comments complaining about the colors used on the first landing page, and one comment complaining about its choice of name. Sigh. ( edit - this video might be a better intro to Caffeine - https://vimeo.com/286872152 https://vimeo.com/286872152 )
- musicale 6y agoI agree - I've been excited about this sort of thing ever since the early days of asm.js (now webasm), not to mention the Internet Archive's classic game collection. In addition to this Squeak (et al.) implementation, recent HN discussions have covered web browser implementations of Smalltalk-80 as well as BBC BASIC and Multics. I'd really like to see more of this; for example, it should be easy to make a browser version of Oberon - I'm sure someone has done it already. I think there are lots of great opportunities for creating modern programming environments (Pharo...) and also making interactive, usable versions of important historical environments such as Smalltalk-80 or UNIX.
