This particular implementation doesn't strike me as extremely useful, but stepping away form text based files opens up quite a lot of possibilities. For one, identifiers could be replaced by UUIDs, making some refactoring operations trivial. And as someone else points out, the system could reject syntactical errors at an early stage. Smalltalk implementations such as Squeak [1] show a lot of potential. Unfortunately, the programming ecosystem at large seems to be quite conservative. [1] https://squeak.org/ https://squeak.org/

What truly matters is the concept and the interaction approach, which enable the creation of a general-purpose VPL that can be used for any programming task.
