Jtalk, a Smalltalk for web developers

... so this is a Smalltalk on top of JavaScript in a browser.

Since one can run JavaScript easily on top of Javas JVM
by using Mozillas Rhino (a simple JAR to run JS in a Java app)
you should be able to bootstrap JTalk on a java virtual machine too.

Performance would be horrible, I guess ... but it would be a fun
project to play with.

mumble, mumble ....

But much more interesting side-effect for the future is, that Jtalk also
runs on Google V8 JavaScript VM! Also on server side, where JavaScript
as dynamic language is more and more popular and can be expected to
replace once even Java. So, I'd rather bet on JavaScript that Java for
the future...

Best regards
