I briefly looked into it, but I can't seem to figure out what to make with it. It looked like you couldn't write an application with any portability, and any user would basically have to run a smalltalk vm to use your application. Am I mistaken?

I'm no expert (not even close), but I believe they'd have to run Pharo itself, yes. So you could redistribute the Pharo runtime along with your app code (similar to, say, Python).

You may be able to build web applications too (http://seaside.st/).

This applies to loops as well. Numbers are objects that accept the `timesRepeat:` message:

    10 timesRepeat: [ n := n*2 ].

Not only that, you can send messages to blocks, to implement loops.

    [ n < 10 ] whileTrue: [ n := n + 1 ]

Anyone interested in playing around with Smalltalk can use https://pharo.org - I recently tried it and was pretty amazed with the quality of documentation available. It is quite a different experience working in an interactive live environment.

There's also Kivy (http://kivy.org). Not with a sizeable sponsor like React or Xamarin, but it's Python :D

Would be nice to have a screenshot without the red squiggly underlines.

I have some projects in Mithril - is it worth it port to Vue?
