It's possible to write Self code like this and it's how I originally
started using Self to learn the language (vs learning the
environment). You can even run Self without the GUI (for use on a
server for example).

You can use the GUI and enter the raw Self code in an evaluator and
get the best of both worlds. Even editing files in emacs with Self
code and using _RunScript or 'bootstream read: From:' to load the
files.
