It'd be interesting to try this concept again on the wildly different computers we have now compared to 40 years ago.
4k monitors, high speed networks, dozens of cores, things are significantly different - might open some wildly exciting and new possibilities
Although I’ve never succeeded in locating a copy of the spec, any implementations, even a screenshot… would be great if any of them turned up some day

Likewise for the Televideo 995-65: http://bitsavers.org/pdf/televideo/995/firmware/

IIRC there was some additional minimal runtime stuff like perl/awk/sed that came with it kinda like MinGW later on
