It's interesting how, in the world of web software and APIs, it's still quite difficult (and in some ways harder than with VBA/HyperCard/etc.) to compute over your own data. APIs make it possible to build *services* but missing the equivalent of hitting ~ to get a console.

Ya. For ad-hoc application programming I think one could build a sweet REPL/stateful console tied to a GraphQL server. Meaning a piece of JS/python/whatever software that you could point at GraphQL server and do ad-hoc scripting against APIs derived from the schema.
