I love some of the work Alan Kay and others are doing at http://vpri.org/. His work on STEPS is trying to produce a whole working environment in 20 KLOC through heavy use of DSLs.

I hate programming silos. I think the world would be a much better place with good platforms, where libraries can interop easily and everything feels so integrated. Emacs is a watered-down reminiscence of this approach.

Just to clarify, the STEPS Project has ended (Oct 2012). HN had a discussion on their final report not too long ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11686325
