Amber Web Development Tool

And for something Smalltalk related that’s used for web development, there’s Amber. As the website says:

The Amber language is deeply inspired by Smalltalk. It is designed to make client-side development faster and easier. Amber includes a live development environment with a class browser, workspace, unit test runner, transcript, object inspector and debugger.

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

Cuis is becoming my go-to Smalltalk distro

Since I’ve given up on Pharo because of it’s self-destructive habit of making changes to everything for the sake of change, I’ve been looking for a testbed to use for my own experiments in coding. I’ve kind of settled on a combination of Squeak and Cuis for those experiments. At least those 2 distros don’t require constantly revising code because compatibility is an afterthought. I like the lightweight nature of Cuis and I like Squeak because it’s relatively full-featured.

Any useful Twitter accounts

I know this isn't a great time to ask, but have you read any Twitter feeds that you'd recommend? I'm hankering to read something non-COVID related, so keep the recommendations to programming related. Please comment below.
