Yes about the implementation you are right, but I was more talking about
the idea and the fact that Dan Ingall is one of the smalltalk creators
(see also my other answer about his potato vm).
I agree it would be really cool :)

If I understand your question, you want to remake Dan Ingall's lively

no these are two separate things. Compiling PharoVM with Emscripten
would be that you would still have the PharoVM but now running on top of
a browser since it will be pure javascript. While lively Kernel is not
related to Smalltalk at all, its just a gui on top of javascript meant
to be used as a javascript library.
What Andy wants is something similar to SqueakJS but for Pharo. Would be
great to have something like that, but I fear this would be a quite
challenging project by itself since you would need to worry about things
like graphics and even handling inside the browser. Maybe someone could
take SqueakJS as a template and work on that.

I just saw this implementation of SQLite as a JS system, via
Emscripten,
and I was curious whether something similar would be even vaguely
possible for the VM.
