I know ... they are working on an ESUG sponsored project for a new SqueakSource and apparently they'll be able to release something in a couple of weeks, not sure if this will include the IDE thing Janko mentioned :)

Hi guys,

Yes, at ObjectFusion we are working with ESUG on a Squeaksource replacement called SmalltalkHub.

We are also working on a Smalltalk environment named Jtalk, including an IDE, that runs on the JavaScript runtime.
This Smalltalk includes the following features:

- it is written in itself and it is self contained.
- Pharo Smalltalk is considered as the reference implementation
- Everything is written in Smalttalk, including the Compiler and Parser
- It is compatible with the Squeak/Pharo chunk format.
- It compiles into very efficient JavaScript code

Jtalk is already a working Smalltalk environment, with a class browser, workspace and transcript. It includes an API to write HTML, and the WIdget class from Iliad. We also have jQuery bindings.

I hope I'll be able to release it next week, but I don't know yet how (or if) it will have an impact on Iliad.

Cheers,
Nico

Great stuff Nico!!
