Ben: I have been thinking along the same lines. Smalltalk is my PersonalOS.
Instead of *.bat or *.sh files, I would use Smalltalk to call OS commands directly in methods to do what I want in the OS while using Smalltalk to do the logic. PersonalOS should be able to run on multiple OS's using the same methods to do the same things. So, an easy interface to OS commands and possibly OS APIs would encourage people to use Smalltalk for controlling everything else. Smalltalk would be the center of control and automation from individuals to corporations and beyond. Hopefully, we can get critical mass with this.
