Friends of mine are developing Enso (https://enso.org/), an interactive programming language with dual visual and textual representations.
Even well before Bret Victor's time, there were tools for visual programming. I have been using LabView to maintain data processing in an optical laboratory.

reform-swift
Swift implementation of the reform dynamic drawing application inspired by Bret Victor's talk "Drawing Dynamic Visualizations"
I really wish I kept a list of related stuff somewhere…
There are lots of hobbyists, academics, and even companies inspired by Bret Victor’s talks alone.
I know of at least 2 open source experimental programs that were inspired by specific demos:

I know there are more too but I can’t find them right now.

gtoolkit
Glamorous Toolkit is the Moldable Development Environment. It empowers you to make systems explainable through contextual micro tools.
In my opinion the idea is more than direct data manipulation. It is about how we get feedback. In drawing, the medium to draw is the same medium to read. In programming, there is often a mismatch - coding on a text file, running on somewhere else, e.g. terminal, browser, remote server. If you count surrounding activities for programming, like versioning, debugging, metering and profiling, even more system is involved. We are not even touching the myriad of SaaS offering each tackling carve out a little pie out of the programming life cycle.
Back to your question, from my naive understanding, smalltalk seems to be an all in one environment. The Glamorous Toolkit [1] seems to be that environment on steroid. I have no useful experience to share though.

TermKit
Experimental Terminal platform built on WebKit + node.js. Currently only for Mac and Windows, though the prototype works 90% in any WebKit browser.

I helped with the Eve language, which was an attempt down this path (https://witheve.com)
After that project ended I started working on my own attempt (https://GitHub.com/mech-lang/mech).
Someone else posted a link to futureofcoding.org, which is a community that works on these types of projects. You can find a lot more there.
