Sigh. This was all done about 25 years ago with Smalltalk.
Most of the Smalltalk environment is written in Smalltalk,
and, in the case of Squeak, even the VM is written in Squeak.
The focus of Smalltalk has always been on education, and
over at www.squeakland.org there seems to be some renewal
along these lines.
