Smalltalk solved this problem and many others a very long time ago but we are stuck with Unix and its variations. A live computational environment that can be molded by the individual for their own use cases was not commercially successful and so Smalltalk is now relegated to the dustbin of computing history instead of being the main paradigm for computer interaction[1]. 1: https://lively-kernel.org/ https://lively-kernel.org/

<rant> The linked page[1] is an excellent example why potentially ingenious products can fail. The writing on that page is as bad as it could possibly be. There is an opening paragraph: “Lively is a new approach to Web programming..” which is nice. But next there are just three isolated links with absolutely no annotation. What the heck is the reader supposed to do? I bet the ultimate majority will stop right there, close the page and think what kind of a mutherfucker could write such an idiotic page:-|
