My final year thingy at Uni was a new programming language technique for 
extending the language without having to hack the compiler, just by importing 
a library.

Using the same trick one could then pare the language down to something 
barely above assembly language and have all the features we know and love 
(like 'functions' and 'objects' and 'types') implemented as extra stuff you 
load, thus making compilers simpler, languages more modular, and 
experimentation and customisation easier.

That is all.
