Ran across this on HackerNews and it got me thinking how cool a Self phone would be:

ha! accidently ran thingLab on my phone a couple of days ago -

https://constraints.cs.washington.edu/thinglab/

doing it at a low level would be really cool but lots of effort; drawing a line (most likely just below the bytecodes) aggressively name-mangling, and then generating the plumb- obvious JS may get more done with less effort...

Were coroutines and actors ever implemented in Self?

I'd say pretty much - in that Self always and threads (I can't remember the extent to which they're "Green" or "Red" or whatever todays terms are) - and dynamic inheritance would be great to do actor behaviour-swapping...

ahh, if only I had either students, or time (= money)
