Baecker and Marcus's system, although very elegant, only distinguishes rather surface features of the code. I have always felt it would be interesting to try to offer perceptual cues to deeper structures. Following the Soloway/Rist approach would go towards programming plans. Or Tony Cornah and I tried to pick out basic blocks and data flow. Other candidates? Sajaniemi reported on something a bit similar in a PPIG workshop a couple of years ago, didn't he? What was that? is it relevant? So, a question for all: if Alan gets something going, what structures would be highlighted in a programming editor? How would they vary with the type of language? Suggestions please?
