Is ironic if you think about, Pharo really lacks documentation even in
basic areas,
Are you joking? I spend my time writing books and chapters and their
quality is quite good.
libraries are nowhere near as powerful as those offered by javascript
yet I have found Pharo way easier to use. Web development looks to me
like a big pile of unnecessary mess. Actually Amber is the best part
of it :D
So the problem for me is not so much the System Browser , but the
steep learning curve . Or maybe its just the fact that I dont like
many of the web frameworkds, including html / js / css etc.
I wish I could make something in pharo and click a button to deploy it
as a website but alas thats just a dream.
I would like to have a solution for that without having a smalltalk
compiler in JS as amber is doing.
I think however that for the amount of developers Amber has been
making some amazing progress.

I've been meaning to build a code browser for Amber (and GST) in
Pharo with
Omnibrowser using the Shampoo protocol[1], once I get some copious
spare time.
