Recently I started reading about Smalltalk and its way of development and I was quite impressed. I was wondering whether there is some sort of library that makes possible the same way of development in JavaScript. I found some libraries but they just reload the page or restarts a running node.js server. I'm interested in both client side and server side JavaScript libraries. Amber Smalltalk is nice but I'm looking for a way to do the same in JS.
Edit: I'm looking for some sort of live editing of objects and prototypes and saving the changes to a file, or changing the contents of a file and the added methods are propagated to a running page or server. All this placed in an IDE similar to that of Pharo. What I found is that Meteor and Brackets support some kind of this functionality (live editing going from a source file to a browser).
You should have a look at "Lively", a project providing a Smalltalk-like environment in JavaScript:
http://lively-web.org/
It was initiated by Dan Ingalls, implementor of the original and later Smalltalks.
You can find an earlier version and some additional resources at http://lively-kernel.org/
