This is kind of related, but I've always wondered what a 2D or 3D IDE would look like, if we could drop the limitations of files and working top to bottom, and instead be able to group code more spatially (and i guess still have it then outpt to files for storage.) Does anything like this that isnt a GUI drag and drop editor?
- bbkane 3y agohttps://www.unison-lang.org/ https://www.unison-lang.org/ stores code in SQLite (last I checked) and looks super interesting. In a related idea, I wonder what organizing code imports by one or more "tags" instead of import paths would be like. Probably too confusing after a while (tag systems tend to get that way), but fun to daydream about

- swizzler 3y agoThere is code bubbles. Early demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsPX0nElJ0k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsPX0nElJ0k current site (eclipse plugin for java projects?): https://cs.brown.edu/~spr/codebubbles/index.html https://cs.brown.edu/~spr/codebubbles/index.html. Maybe also inspired Visual Studio debugger exploration. I haven't used it (but have wanted to)

- SnooSux 3y agoI like tools like vim and tmux for being able to quickly and easily split windows and show multiple terminals. If I could extend things out further than just my monitor that would be really cool. Or stack windows on top of each other so I could scroll through windows in a specific spot.
- mattxxx 3y agoHm this is a good idea. Or similarly, be able to make a "meta file" that maybe contains every function that was used in a chain... Cool thought
