"And here's the best part. We are able to decentralize and distribute both the cost and impact evenly across the entire consumer base, making Apple itself much more environmentally friendly."

> I'm sure you realize that there is full modern UI support in any reasonably up to date Smalltalk implementation

Contained to the VM itself, yes? I've never seen any information on packaging a GUI and making it presentable to a user. For example, what if I want to style/brand it to not look like Pharo or a smalltalk VM? How limited am I with that?

> If you mean accessing data from the filesystem, yes that can be done as well.

How? I've never seen it explained in a book, but I could easily have missed it. That's more of what I'm talking about though. For example, how do I read / parse a CSV for the computer? Or better yet, download a CSV from the internet and then parse it.

> And guess what, there is even network support.

I'm aware of this because I know there's a web framework. I think there's an entire book on this for Pharo.

There’s enough beginners guides to smalltalk. What there is none of is “smalltalk for working programmers”. Or “do meaningful things with smalltalk”.

Pharo has some good guide books, but they still keep things contained just within the single VM.

How do I read user input and spit something back out? Does all the activity need to take place inside the VM? Seems so constraining.

Can you test it in Microsoft's new Edge browser based on Chromium? I'm very curious about that. (I don't know how to test such a thing myself, sorry :S)

I like Jai's `use` keyword.

Fun fact: Odin has this exact same thing with `using`. https://odin-lang.org/docs/overview/#using-statement
