Any chance of getting a demo like Dabble's?
I assume you did this one in Seaside as well? Every time I see a project you've done it makes me want to fire up a Smalltalk image and try it out again.
- catton 17y agoWe prototyped it in Seaside, but the end product is actually Seaside-free. We do use some Smalltalk though.
- avibryant 17y agoYeah, I'll do a screencast at some point, but it's way too much effort to do that until we've finalized the UI - and we want feedback from y'all first :)
- ben 17y agoThis project has nontrivial pieces written in Squeak, Java, Ruby, and Javascript. The site has a dash of PHP.
- natrius 17y agoCare to share the rationale behind those choices? Sounds interesting.
- catton 17y agoSure, in brief: Smalltalk because we're most productive in it, Java for some code that particularly needed to be performant, and Ruby because it's better than the other two at interacting with the OS/tying all the pieces together. Obv JS for client-side whiz-bang.
