If someone can implement a useful programming language with non-textual structure and do it right, that would be pretty hot. (There are a few out there, but they really need better editor support...)
I have had something similar in mind for a while, but when I saw Subtext, I found that what I had been thinking about program representation (as inspired by git) was very similar to the stuff in Subtext's papers, except that Subtext's was much more developed in the vein of Smalltalk. On the other hand, I found the decision tree stuff to be something of a curiosity; I'm not sure if it's necessary for the Smalltalky functionality.
