Jtalk現在已改名為Amber

Jimmy's papa之前介紹過的【Jtalk-以JavaScript實作的Smalltalk】 ,現在已改名為Amber(琥珀),開發者的意圖或許能從它首頁出現的琥珀圖片可看出端倪, 記得電影"《侏羅紀公園》（Jurassic Park）"中讓恐龍復活的最重要關鍵，就是被密封在琥珀中達億萬年之久的吸血巨蚊,那麼,想藉由Amber,將遠古程式語言Smalltalk的DNA借javascript之體還魂,重新活躍在行動網路設備的競技場,再造Smalltalk世紀就不言可喻了

以下是英文簡介
Amber, formerly known as Jtalk, is an implementation of the Smalltalk-80 language. It is designed to make client-side development faster and easier. It allows developers to write client-side heavy web applications in Smalltalk.

Amber includes an integrated development environment with a class browser, workspace, transcript, object inspector and debugger.

Amber is written in itself, including the parser and compiler, and compiles into efficient JavaScript, mapping one-to-one with the JS equivalent.
