I would disagree. What Quark offers is much more. You don't have to learn a new language. You have access to this massive javascript ecosystem. And it has out of the box support for React.js, Vue.js, Typescript and toolings like webpack that developers love.

You seem to be assuming that everyone is a javascript developer and wants to work in it.

No, but not everyone is a smalltalk developer either.

Sad thing is that is harder to find documentation for smalltalk thant for javascript.

I was very intersted in smalltalk at first but I had a very hard time to find somehing above the Transcript object example.

Heck even glamourous toolkit doesn't have it's documentation on its website either while I could found Quark's api doc right away.That's sad.
