Yes, somewhat like these, but having the ability to inspect and simulate effects on intermediate forms and systems. So something along the lines of light table but being able to show more than just the immediate program. Copying something I wrote in another thread: I want to see not just the immediate program I'm manipulating (text or otherwise) but also the implications - the affected parts of various other intermediate representations all the way to the running, live system that will be affected.
