Dynamic translation of Smalltalk to WebAssembly
The article discusses the dynamic translation of Smalltalk to WebAssembly (WASM) within the Catalyst project, which involves three languages: Smalltalk, JavaScript, and WASM. The author describes achieving just-in-time optimization by directly translating Smalltalk compiled methods into human-readable WebAssembly Text (WAT) source code, which is then converted to binary WASM for web browser execution. The process is illustrated with an example, translating a simple Smalltalk method, and touches on setting up WASM types and anticipating performance improvements over time as WASM engines advance.
