This a really cool design. Is there anything approaching it today?

  Sadly, no. The Newton was the last of the lisp machines really. The coolest thing about Newton app development was that the prototype based environment and soup data stores made it very easy to "monkeypatch" existing applications to add new features or change functionality. Apps ended up being very small but still quite powerful. You had a system that the application-level equivalent of browser-based userscripts (a la Greasemonkey) and javascript-powered web site mashups.
