Pharo 7 on SqueakJS (demo)

Hi,

with some tweaks mostly related to FFI and fonts, we are able to run Pharo 7 on SqueakJS VM.

Do not expect blazing performance. Currently, it is about two orders of magnitude slower than the native VM.

Cheers,

Cool.

I had to use Ctrl-Click to get a menu. Keyboard shortcuts also don't seem to work (Ctrl based).

GT Inspectors also fail.

Nice experiment!
The fact that it works it's a feat itself.

Maybe in the future with WebAssembly and a lighter/core image it will
became a viable alternative.

Interestingly - its faster on my iPhoneX than on my 2015 MacBook Pro - shows how much the processor speeds are advancing.
