Little Smallscript - A Dialect Of Smalltalk That Compiles Into JavaScript
Little Smallscript
is a dialect of Smalltalk that compiles into JavaScript. Hidden behind
the huge Smalltalk Environment, Smalltalk always had a beautiful syntax
that is fit for object oriented scripting. Little Smallscript is an
attempt to let Smalltalk see the light of day again.
Published at DZone with permission of Hirvesh Munogee, author and DZone MVB. (source)The golden rule of LittleSmallscript is: "It's just JavaScript". The code compiles one-to-one into the equivalent JS, and there is no interpretation at runtime. You can use any existing JavaScript library seamlessly from LittleSmallscript (and vice-versa). The compiled output is readable and pretty-printed, passes through JSHint without warnings, will work in every JavaScript runtime, and tends to run as fast or faster than the equivalent handwritten JavaScript.
