if PharoJS doesn't integrate with javascript libraries, then that would be a
non-starter for me.
for amber, as much as i love having a great IDE in the browser,
unfortunately when i tried it, it took more resources than my small laptop (1GB
ram, 1GHz cpu, no swap) could handle. that same laptop runs pharo just fine.
(to be fair though the problem is really that the browser takes up all the
resources, simply leaving no space for the amber IDE.)
so that's a tossup. for myself though, i'd already be happy to just be able to
use a nicer language than what javascript is.
greetings, martin.
