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 shipped as a npm package for its CLI tools and as a bower package for the client-side.
# Install the CLI tool `amber`
npm install -g amber
# Initialize your project as bower package
cd /path/to/myproject
bower init
# Load amber via bower in your project
bower install amber --save
# Serve amber on localhost:4000
amber serve
