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

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

> SMSs written to appear they are from someone that knows the recipient

I don't think this means they are sent from numbers known to the recipient. Only that the content is written such that it appears to be from someone who knows the recipient.

I don't know if actual spoofing is possible.

> When you send an e-mail today it’s sent in plaintext. This means that when you connect to your local coffee shop’s WiFi they can intercept all e-mail that is sent through their router. This is probably not the relationship you have with your barista…

Um, how many users use native clients on unencrypted ports as opposed to https based web-clients or TLS?

Could you please elaborate more on mithril vs. vue? Was it ease-of-use, performance or something else that pulled you over?

Often gets lost in the release notes - deploying on Google cloud is super easy:

    % gcloud compute instances create INSTANCE --image freebsd-11-0-release-p1-amd64 --image-project=freebsd-org-cloud-dev
    % gcloud compute ssh INSTANCE
