Totally awesome!<p>Some time ago there was a Smalltalk for Java announced - I wasn't particularly thrilled, because I have nothing to do with Java. This time, however, I'm more than excited - I'm starting to play with Amber right now!<p>EDIT: this is getting better with every page I read. It's compiled to JS, so I expect it to be fast. It supports seamless integration with JS libraries - it's IDE is written in Amber but with jQuery. It's class library is simplified, but based on Pharo. It has a Canvas implementation - and I don't mean <canvas>, but a HTMLCanvas known from Seaside. It's a live, interactive, clean Smalltalk environment in a browser.<p>My life just got a bit better and more enjoyable :)
Some example code snippets on the front page couldn't hurt, and please, please have a downloadable ebook or pdf of your documentation, so I can sit back with my tablet / e-reader in non-connected situations. Doing a little bit of targeting to iOS developers given Objective-C's ancestry couldn't hurt.<p>[edit: Objective-C is a decedent of Smalltalk - I was emphasizing the connection to be able to draw Objective-C programmers to its roots]
That is very cool. I played with Amber a few years ago and it seems like the in-browser experience is better.<p>Off topic, but I just had some pain moving a small example Ember.js app to the most recent 1.0rc1, with lots of pain. I have to at least consider that Amber might be good for writing a fat browser client.
