Mapless VS daedalOS

Just a quick update to mention that I've merged in develop a pull request that will add the capability to work with Mapless using UnQLite in memory.

Sounds like it was a smooth migration. Good to hear that because in this precise moment I'm adding SQLite support to *Mapless* [1] (PostgreSQL had support already [2]) so people can do these kind of smooth transitions in their Smalltalk apps.

After quite some time not having updates on Mapless, I've invested in getting it working for latests Pharo versions and incorporating and maturing its API and main features.

1. Circa 2014 I've created Mapless [1], a Smalltalk persistence framework to remove the Object Relational Impedance Mismatch problem by design so I can quickly prototype or (modify) maintain the persisted objects without caring about mapping. Now it's going for production with humongous load.

2. I'm discretely working in Lobster [2] because I don't like current Smalltalk IDEs and I want one with a native look and feel. So far I have implemented Transcript, Workspace, Inspector, REPL and partially a Class Hierarchy Browser.

I've learned so much while making this project into my personal website (dustinbrett.com). It's made me a much better web developer as I have tried to emulate a desktop environment with pixel perfect accuracy using CSS, HTML & JavaScript.

I'm very happy to announce that my personal website has once again been nominated for a Webby Award!

This has also been ported to the web via Emscripten. I host it on my website if anyone wants to play. https://dustinbrett.com/?app=SpaceCadet

As someone who built a website around this idea, I agree! The desktop metaphor is powerful. If anyone wants to check it out it's at https://dustinbrett.com

Very cool! It's always refreshing to see the "OS in the browser" projects that try and actually make something functional. I've been working on one myself for nearly 3 years now, called daedalOS (https://github.com/DustinBrett/daedalOS).

The WASM kernel idea is very cool and I hope one day to be able to add something similar to my project. I think you are onto something and I am excited to see your progress as you implement the GUI.

If you want some Browserception, my desktop environment (https://dustinbrett.com/) can indeed do this. But after a few levels in Chromium you need to add a random query string (/?a=1) to the URL otherwise it stops working.
