"out of that balloon" -- I see what you did there. :)

I've not really thought about it beyond that it would be nice. I really wanted to love Smalltalk, but Pharo at least didn't run well on Arch for me, and I didn't much love the web frameworks/concurrency story. I will say that Seaside is probably what got me interested in Liveview in the first place though. So many "if only"s...the developer experience is amazing in Smalltalk though.

There's a lot that scares me about making languages and I've not studied it much. I've started reading through SICP though as a starting place. Writing a basic scheme interpreter (and future compiler/JIT compiler) as an image-based language (with change tracking) to make it interactive from the get-go seemed to be as far as I made it, maybe basing it on an existing Scheme, but tacking on preemptive scheduling sounds hard. But so is making a language and entire development environment. :)

Shoot me an email though if you'd like to chat (in my profile, also [e-mail]), not 100% sold if this is something I'd want to take on in the future or not, I really wish it already existed and someone better than me had already made it. :-D
