Loved NewtonScript and the whole frame concept. Do you know if anyone has tried to do something like Soup since then?

I’d point to CouchDB and other document databases. The unit of data is a freeform object (JSON is pretty close to NewtonScript objects), and you put a bunch of them in a container. Of course the capabilities are more sophisticated (e.g., map-reduce queries, replication), but the basic idea is similar.
