Why don't they make a DOM/SVG front-end for the browsers? (Not canvas!)
It could serve as the engine for new, fun, interactive websites!

If you love that idea but don't mind the switching out the language, CLOG [1] does this on Common Lisp.

you mean like amber smalltalk?

or more like https://squeak.js.org/ ?
https://squeak.js.org/demo/simple.html this is canvas not DOM/SVG. It doesn't support fonts/text. Its text support feels less janky than I expected, select, copy, paste work, but it is still not browser-native.
I don't know how to start Amber in the browser and couldn't find demos.

Cuis Smalltalk (https://cuis.st) uses vector graphics for its rendering engine!
