That's an interesting idea. Quite a lot of the momentum in Python, Lua,
ECMAScript, etc. come from their embedded-ness.

Smalltalk was built embedded in an OS that it was never entirely comfortable
with, although there have been many attempts at scripting Smalltalk from
other programs, Seaside being the most notable success.

I suggest that this ideal already exists. The benefits come from specific
implementations.

It would be interesting to see a Croquet variant with a modern game engine.
Smalltalk and C++ should be able to play well together.
