Hi,
IntellIj Idea uses editor projections which basically works with the AST. I
saw some demos of their MPS (Meta Programming System -
http://www.jetbrains.com/mps) system and they can do really exciting
things. For example, see:

Matthew let us know what you get and how we can help you.
The direction to not use text but objects for code is very
interesting… a lot of nice experiments could be done on top of this.
One direction is to use more structured ways of editing… but one needs
to take care that in the past (en

Hi Matthew,
Is this an ongoing project? If yes, I would be interested in learning more
about your effort and see if there are no synergies with the work on
GToolkit.

The VisualAge series from IBM (Instantiations now owns the Smalltalk variant)
used
a very visual programming metaphor for Smalltalk, C++ and Java. C++ and Java
programmers tended to not like the fact that ENVY was used for code, rather
than
the file system, and that kind of "if you don't act
Hello,
The problem is that in most cases non text editor based IDE are not
user-friendly/hard to understand/hard to use. We are moving toward AST
based tools software side but it will still be a textEditor for the user
interface.
I remember there may be something similar to what you are looking f
hello,
It's interesting that in Smalltalk, coding is still done via a text editor, not
by sending messages to objects (except in the background, parsing & compiling
etc). I've been playing with coding by messaging nodes in the AST with a view
to coding this way via Roassal graph visualizations
