I have added a new blog post showing how I am using Pharo Smalltalk and Seaside to rapidly create Ruby-on-Rails applications.
https://railsexpress.quora.com/Pharo-Seaside-Express
There is also a short video showing a simple application running under Pharo/Seaside and then being converted to Ruby-on-Rails. The application uses the Qooxdoo JavaScript framework for the UI.
Seaside Express Video
The blog outlines some of my thoughts about the development philosophy.
And the video gives some idea of how this works in practice - particularly how quickly (about a minute) an entire Ruby-on-Rails application can be generated from the Smalltalk specification.
I will release the Seaside-Qooxdoo classes later this year when the code is more stable.
