On the AMIGA and ATARI machines there was something close (not part of the OS though) call AMOS and STOS.
The author of AMOS / STOS is bringing back and he did an interview here.

He seems to have gone the browser route which I am not keen on though.
- 0815test 7y agoThe actual nice thing about those packages was the straightforward support they provided for the mostly gaming-oriented hardware features in those machines (particularly the Amiga). In this way, they were close precursors to present-day game engines like Godot. And this also creates a conundrum for anyone wanting to bring the originals back, of course - do you reimplement their actual features, even if this means basically emulating a legacy platform?
