okay so i’ve teamed up with a guy here on the fedi called npub1f8ufv4euhwf6ty3h5k2sa6en7ch6wjcdp2slpy2ufzlanutqpu7s5mcgqt (npub1f8u…cgqt)
we’re making a web browser in smalltalk.
specifically, fork of cuis smalltalk named haver. this is a project of particular note. i suggest you check it out. it is a formidable adaptation of smalltalk.
the web browser is being called ‘the proclaimer’.
we aim to comment on the social mores of the modern web. it has become a horrible morass of walled gardens and extortionate social relationships.

what is smalltalk? smalltalk is a purely object oriented language. arguably the first complete one, having its syntax written out by alan kay, very famously, on the back of an envelope.
smalltalk-80 is largely the standard today, and opensmalltalk (upon which haver is based) is smalltalk-80 compliant.
what makes smalltalk special? its reflectivity and syntactic power. every operation in the smalltalk virtual machine is based on the concept of sending a message to an object. even the most primitive.
*
what is next?
we are going to write a CSS parser.
