- omneity 5y ago> better incremental analyses and tools to display and manipulate that text as more This is my exact impression of Dion after watching their demos. This link might give you a better idea: https://dion.systems/gallery.html https://dion.systems/gallery.html
- shepardrtc 5y agoThey should just lead with the gallery. A picture is worth a thousand words and all. Because honestly now I'm really excited to see what they can do.
- aidenn0 5y agoThey do claim "Text is not the source format but just the way it is rendered on the screen" at that page, which supports the comment in TFA that they wish to abandon text files as representation for code. That seems rather silly to me; if everyone wants to interact with it as source, and source can be an unambiguous representation of its structure, why store it in some other format?
