I'm sorry to say it's not enterprise, it's not commercial, and it's not even complete! It's just a little home grown project. But hopefully it's a bit of fun and a bit of eye candy.
After writing it in Fantom Java I was excited at the prospect of running it in a browser, to see how cross-platform Fantom is and to see how the JavaScript performs.
The cross-platform is pretty good and went a lot smoother than I anticipated - though I feel I could now write an article on the gotchas of porting Fantom apps over to JS!
As for performance, I was quite surprised, for on:
Chrome: doesn't seem too bad!
Firefox: good, but lags when screen gets cluttered.
Internet Explorer: crippled my system as expected, but runs without error.
Well, if nothing else, Gundam should put my recent pestering questions in perspective!
Brian and Andy, thanks for your support. Cheers.
Steve.

Neat, Please write that article on your experiences running fantom as js

very cool, I'd also be interested in an article on what you found as good, bad, and the ugly regarding JS

Very impressive, and performance makes sense because:
V8 > SpiderMonkey > > > > > IE

and also +1000 because of Gundam

Very nice!
What is your impression of the difference between the Java and the Fantom version? Which feature of Fantom was useful? Which features works just as good in Java? How do you perceive readability? Code size? The number of annoying gotchas and special cases?

This Fantom / JavaScript rewrite seems to be popular... Sure okay, I'll get round to writing something up then... but it'll only be small, for to be honest, it all just seemed to work! I posted all my gripes on the forum here.

As I am somewhat active on this forum (for better or worse!) I thought it'd be nice to share with you what I've been tinkering with of late:
