 Some highlights:
 
--    Amber features an IDE with a Class browser, Workspace, Transcript, a ReferencesBrowser supporting senders/implementors and class references, basic Inspector and even a beginning of a Debugger and a unit TestRunner.
--    [Pharo Smalltalk](http://www.pharo-project.org) is considered as the reference implementation.
--    Amber includes a canvas to generate HTML, like [Seaside](http://www.seaside.st)
--    Amber can use Javascript libraries and the current IDE is built on [jQuery](http://www.jquery.com)
--    You can inline Javascript code and there are many ways to interact between Amber and Javascript

+- [Pharo Smalltalk](http://www.pharo-project.org) is considered as the reference implementation.
+- Amber is extendable with libraries, installable preferably via `bower`:
+    - `amber-contrib-web` with a canvas to generate HTML, like [Seaside](http://www.seaside.st), included in a new project by default,
+    - `silk` with a stream-like wrapping of DOM elements, included in a new project by default,
+    - `helios` IDE, included in a new project by default,
+    - `amber-contrib-legacy` with smaller in-page "classic" IDE and some miscellany, included in a new project by default,
+    - `trysmalltalk`, containing [Prof Stef](http://amber-lang.net/learn.html) interactive crash course.
