This is what Smalltalk and Lisp workstations promised and went some way into accomplishing, but they have never been built into the current generation of desktops like Linux and Windows. We even have Emacs where everything is configured with elisp. The current problems come from building on the wrong foundations. The whole desktop paradigm and OS paradigm needs to be rebooted, and sure as hell the impetus will not come from Microsoft, Apple or Google, who seem to be entrenching sub par practices.
