  There was a fantastic prototype called Entity years back that used a similar model and took it much further. Everything ran of a document object model that you'd then script with javascript, Perl or C (which was passed to gcc to compile a .so at runtime....). They had an example editor that let you edit the editor itself at runtime. Seemed quite Smaltalk inspired. Unfortunately it died and disappeared.

    Yes, this seems to be the kind of thing I had in mind.

      I really should dig it up - I have a copy of it somewhere. The original author seems to have disappeared without a trace, and the website was taken down... A shame. It was rough around the edges, and some of the features were a bit "creative" (requiring gcc to be installed so you can runtime-compile C code into .so's was perhaps a bit over the top...), but it was a fascinating experiment. Grip used to be written in it (only "production" quality application I saw using it): http://freecode.com/projects/grip http://freecode.com/projects/grip but I think it was rewritten without Entity at some point.
