Cool - thanks for your interest!

Can you comment on Iliad's suitability for real-time apps?

I think you should think about it like any Ajax app building framework, just more comfortable to use. I think you can get the same degree of real time as with elixir Phoenix which I think you linked to, perhaps a bit less performant than erlang for many users, but not what you need for games and simulations with a simulation and rendering loop. Maybe you’d need to replace the current comet implementation to use web sockets instead of long polling.

If you need something than behaves more like an applet then maybe Craig Latta’s caffeine.js is best for you. I’ve used PharoJS for SPAs. It is very fast, loads with little overhead but is very experimental and unstable. I can walk you around the pitfalls but it is not the same dev experience as Iliad or any other smalltalk. Amber is also fast and stable but also lacks the full pharo dev experience.
