Hi Andy,

I don't see much interest on Aida on Pharo, but anyway, I'll release a
v6.7 Aida before ESUG conf and if there will be a time, a Pharo version too.

Best regards
Janko

Hi Janko,

I see your point. I hadn't realised that Aida was less popular on Pharo. My interest in a Pharo 3 version was just because I like the way their toolset is developing. And, I particularly like the look of the Moose browsers.

As an alternative, I could try developing on Gemstone. Does Aidaweb offer the realtime support on Gemstone too?

Also, the reason I am asking these questions is that I want to develop a - relatively simple - web app which will allow groups of people to create, and manage, virtual post-it notes in realtime. I am torn between technologies. On the one hand, systems such as Meteor seem to offer a good stack, but the tools are weak, and you have to write in Javascript. On the other hand Aidaweb seems to let me write everything in smalltalk, but I am not sure whether I can get the same level of client side interactivity, as easily, if I write everything server side.

What are your thoughts on the different approaches?

Cheers

Andy
