<p>Most importantly: A good IDE is not a text editor, but an AST editor. If the AST happens to be presented as text, that's a choice of visualisation, nothing more. Better to start with a graph-like visualisation to free the mind, then think through the possible
interactions. Maybe add the typical text-like visualisation later. But don't start there or you'll just re-invent notepad for the nth time.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Maybe don't even <i>store</i> the code as ascii text.<o:p></o:p></p>
