VistaSmalltalk, or Vistascript, is a Microsoft Vista scripting Internet Explorer web development environment based on Smalltalk for the Microsoft .NET framework using XAML.
VistaSmalltalk can be opened in IE7 either by clicking on the link at the Vistascript.net home page or by downloading the code and executing vst.exe within its directory or with its directory set in the PATH for Windows XP or Windows Vista.
Once the browser pane is visible, a right-click on the background makes available a typical Smalltalk workspace, transcript or class browser.
This is comparable to opening a browser on running code in the Seaside web framework. Similar early efforts were Smallscript and SharpSmalltalk. A future release of the Gemstone framework with continuations may offer similar facilities for runtime code edits in a web browser.
