Carl Sassenrath (Amiga and Rebol inventor) tried to do this with Rebol. He had what he called iOS (internet operating system) that would let you share the tiny Rebol source files. A 1/2 page of Rebol can run a fully functional GUI with graphics...etc as there is a DSL for most things and high level primitives. The interpreter is < 5MB, so you can transfer everything over the web, but still avoid JavaScript...etc. A cool vision that didn't pan out. The Red project is continuing what is cool about Rebol, but with native compilation as well and a cross-platform compiler for Mac, Linux, Windows, Android, BSD, and several others. They have a whitepaper out on Dapps (decentralized apps) and how to use it with ethereum and blockchain. Worth a look.
