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 (end of the 80ties) all the tries of
structured editors
where not really successful. But having an AST like representation
instead of text would not preclude to have an editor interface that
provided both the
flexibility of a text editor with the knowledge and power of a real
object representation of code below… very interesting direction.
