This sounds like literate programming of some kind. A bit more advanced than Knuth's original WEB implementation, but certainly matching the idea that your code co-exists with discussion and diagram and so forth. I used noweb at a previous employer, and it certainly was difficult to argue with the results; beautiful, readable documentation that existed as a first-class product, alongside the code it was describing. The quality of the software we generated was the highest I've ever seen in terms of things like deadlines and budgets and bugs and testing.

That's what it sounds like. So, it's pure text (and easy to version control), and you can compile it two ways: Once for the machine to execute, once for humans to read.

The code-to-IDE transformation described here could be trivial. Right-pane only shows comments, which are neatly folded away in the left-pane. Doesn't really scream "next level" to me but I'd definitely use it.
