Teapot - another way for Pharo to serve the web
There are various options to write web applications in Pharo. You can use Seaside or Aida web framework or play with the new Tide framework connecting Amber with Pharo.
If you want to quickly write something you can use the plain Zn framework as this nice tutorial from Sven describes.
And now there is something inbetween that allow you to quickly write an application that serves static or dynamic content from Pharo. It is called Teapot and with a few lines of code you can provide JSON to the outside world or other REST based functionality. It also includes support for the Pharo port of Mustache (the templating engine).
The basic concept of Teapot is to define one or many URL Route(s) - either direct or as pattern (for instance with a Regexpression) and return an appropriate response from the Smalltalk side. Simple, lightweight and easy to use.

SqueakJS and Smalltalk 78
Bert is progressing with his SqueakJS project. A current version can be found here:
http://bertfreudenberg.github.io/SqueakJS/
He can also run Smalltalk 78 on the Lively Kernel. The nice thing is all the VM code is fully accessible - you can also check the virtual machine while it is running.
If you want to try it yourself just open this page in your webbrowser: http://lively-web.org/users/bert/Smalltalk-78.html
Really interesting are also the details (for instance on GarbageCollection and on how to run one high level language on another high language.
