Pro
Develop/debug/refactor in Pharo with rich IDE and seamlessly deploy in Javascript

Virtually any Smalltalk class can be exported as part of the solution. Code running in Pharo can access the Javascript/DOM environment and then move over once all is functioning. The only non-portable code are primitive methods without Smalltalk fallback code, but those are mostly already implemented.
