This is a crazy idea all right, but now I kinda want to take a stab at implementing it.
But! It'd probably be better to store the program backwards - if following OP's "the first line of the "todo" file is executed. Then it is removed from the file", we would have to rewrite the file every time an instruction is executed. If the lines were reversed we would only need to seek up to the penultimate newline and then truncate.
Hopefully anyone crazy enough to do this implements it with a virtual filesystem on a mount-point rather than actually trading memory operations for disk operations.
