Amber is an implementation of the Smalltalk language that runs on top of the JavaScript runtime. It is designed to make client-side development faster and easier.
Amber is written in itself, including the parser and compiler. Amber compiles into efficient JavaScript, mapping one-to-one with the equivalent JavaScript. There is no interpretation at runtime.
Some highlights:
Amber is released under the MIT license. All contributions made for inclusion are considered to be under MIT.
Amber uses Grunt.js as build system since version 0.10.0
.
If you already have Grunt.js v0.3.x installed locally run the following (otherwise ignore these lines):
cd ${Amber_DIR}
npm uninstall grunt
To install Grunt.js v0.4.x on the commandline execute the following commands:
npm install -g grunt-cli grunt-init
Amber depends on some web libraries to work in browser, using bower to manage these dependencies. To install bower, run:
npm install -g bower
To get all dependencies, run:
cd ${Amber_DIR}
bower install # dependencies for the web
npm install # dependencies for the cli development
And finally, compile Amber using the following command:
cd ${Amber_DIR}
grunt
For Windows support check the Grunt.js on Windows page.
