SqueakJS

Transcript show: 'Hello World!'; cr.

One of awesome projects you can play with at squeak.js.org/etoys/

@alexwarth Play with Alex’s project at squeak.js.org/etoys/ Wait for it to be fully loaded (it will be faster the second time) then click the Gallery and select the “ComputerLogicGame” project:

I spent about 45 minutes making this. After I showed it to Alan, he gave me an internship at VPRI, working on the STEPS project. A couple of months later, he would be co-advising my Ph.D. Best ROI *ever* on writing a computer program. 3/3

Logic Game, 2005. I made this logic circuit simulator to learn Etoys, Alan Kay & co.'s programming language for kids. I represented the state of the wires and logic gates with their "costumes" -- there is no hidden state. This makes the behavior of the circuits visible. 1/3

This year's DLS Most Notable Paper award goes to: SqueakJS: A Modern and Practical Smalltalk that Runs in Any Browser by @codefrau, Dan Ingalls, @timfelgentreff, @krono, and Robert Hirschfeld. Congratulations to the authors! Read the paper here: freudenbergs.de/vanessa/public…

I created a video of a 'walk through' of my latest tutorial on creating a simple to-do list web application using CodeParadise. Happy coding! #CodeParadise #Smalltalk @pharoproject @SqueakJS youtu.be/Y-i6C_yVHxA

I've been having fun reviving the Croquet from 20 years ago using @SqueakJS . It's not perfect yet, but a lot of the old demos work (sans collaboration, so far). This is pretty close to the version Alan Kay used to give his Turing Award lecture in 2004: github.com/codefrau/jasmi…

CodeParadise is a fascinating project using a tiny (~300kb) bootstrapped @pharoproject image that is executed in a web page using a headless build of the @SqueakJS virtual machine. It directly interacts with the DOM using a custom VM plugin. Check it out: github.com/ErikOnBike

New SqueakJS release 1.1 lets you save Etoys projects (finally!) 🎉 If you're curious about how Squeak use the Garbage Collector to find "image segments" in Squeak, this is the code: #L912" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/codefrau/Squea… Also fixes Scratch project saving and has other minor improvements.

Really nice project with example(s) from @ErikOnBike to bootstrap an own tiny custom image. It is based on Bootstrap from @pharoproject which can not only bootstrap a Pharo image. Run the image on you CLI VM or in a browser with @SqueakJS VM github.com/ErikOnBike/Tin…

New SqueakJS Release 1.0.5 accepts the latest Squeak 6 images now: #zip=https://files.squeak.org/6.0/Squeak6.0-22104-64bit/Squeak6.0-22104-64bit.zip" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">squeak.js.org/run/#zip=https…

Gave my talk about my various JavaScript VMs – @CroquetIO , @SqueakJS , and #Smalltalk78. It was recorded so I will link it when it’s available #Smalltalks2022

If you want to play with the systems Dan demoed ... Smalltalk-76 (actually -78, but same same): codefrau.github.io/Smalltalk78/ Early Squeak (specifically Play With Me – 3 and 4): #url=https://freudenbergs.de/vanessa/squeakjs&files=[Squeak2.8.image,Squeak2.8.changes,SqueakV2.sources]&swapButtons=true" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">squeak.js.org/run/#url=https… Dan's favorite Etoy (the musical bears): #url=https://freudenbergs.de/vanessa/squeakjs&zip=[SqueakV2.sources.zip,bailey.zip]&fixedWidth=1024&fixedHeight=768" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">squeak.js.org/run/#url=https…

Extremely interesting keynote by Dan Ingalls in celebration of Smalltalk's 50th Anniversary. I'm honored he used my virtual machines for his live demos (Smalltalk-78 and @SqueakJS). Also disappointed that apart from Adele the organizers did not invite more women speakers 🤷🏻‍♀️

Looking forward to see JsSqueak in action! Curious how it compares to @SqueakJS.

With the Apple CPU in my new phone, @SqueakJS runs twice as fast as on my 2019 MacBook Pro with an Intel 8-Core i9 chip 😲 Can’t wait to try it on the new MacBook Pro …

In two weeks... Squeak turns 25 on Friday, 24 September 2021. Let’s celebrate! We'll begin with an informal online gathering, at 8×8.vc/3plus4/cast. It will start at 11am pacific time (18.00 UTC), and last all weekend, so that folks from all time zones may attend.

@codefrau @AndrewKemendo Is there already a multiuser SqueakJS based on CroquetIO? 🙃

@fniephaus @LinqLover @codefrau @TorstenAstares @TruffleSqueak 👀

@LinqLover @codefrau @TorstenAstares @TruffleSqueak Yes, that would indeed be nice. You can neither change OpenSmalltalkVM nor TruffleSqueak at run-time. But as you know, it is possible to change the VM simulator while it is running. 🤓

Code coverage for Cuis Smalltalk github.com/npapagna/cuis-…

@cassidoo My week is incredibly busy. But I just did one while waiting for the train … looks much better in action (the Sun is bouncing around and leaving random pen trails). This is in @SqueakJS, running Etoys (the precursor to the popular Scratch tile scripting system)
