An aside on tool interactions: For the past year or so I've been using a new way to do syntax highlighting[1][2] that works really well for highlighting the dataflow in large functions (whether well or poorly written): http://i.imgur.com/EmFMTtv.png http://i.imgur.com/EmFMTtv.png

- mturmon 12y agoThat's a cool idea I had never seen before, thanks.
- frik 12y agoGreat idea, so simple yet no IDE provide this feature out of the box.
- regularfry 12y agoKDevelop (specifically Kate) does this.
