likelihood of port success

Chip Nowacek-2
I need some sort of back-chaining reasoning system for my project. I found squeak source for prolog. I also found Nico's directions on how to port. Before I try to figure this out:
  1. Is such a port even required? Can smalltalk (Amber's, obviously) on its own be coded to support deductive reasoning without need of a separate engine (that would, of course, reliably run in the browser)?
  2. In the large, are there situations where porting just won't work -- that it would be stupid to try?
  3. When is something too much for the browser to handle? Morphic.js really gets the fan running on my machine. Can one profile a system somehow to see if porting makes sense from a machine capacity perspective? I have communicated with AI developers who strain at imagining JS handling logic programming though I am not sure they know.
Any thoughts or names would be appreciated.
