https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10270-019-00768-3 super interesting deep dive on creating a programming environment for laypeople to control their environments
Consider a girl, Ellen, who plans a long hike for the morrow. She wants to start early. She wants the alarm to wake her at 06:00 but only but if the meteorologists forecast dry day. Ellen selects three objects: A bedside alarm, a weather forecast, and a timer. She calls them WAKERUPPER, FORECASTER, and TIMER, and links them together to form a system of collaborating objects.

Loke at brief glance looks an implementation of the Actor model done in Squeak. The late great Joe Armstrong had a reunion of sorts with Hoare and Hewitt (the inventor of the actor model), and Armstrong gave hewitt a hard time, as only Armstrong's system actually work!

Joe Armstrong was a great guy, and his super clever runtime for Erlang/Elixir lives on. Erlang had a horrible syntax, but the runtime was fantastic; still the only system that can run so many threads at once.

Seems a bit like @Duncan Cragg’s project Onex, at first glance
