I like this vision, but I just don't see it catching on. (Unless it has an obvious fallback to text). There are just so many tools that operate on text that you'd have to replace. I can't imagine people dropping, say, Git so that they can have videos as comments. At best you're probably dealing with some sort of markdown-esque meta-language that you embed in the comments. The only significant language I can think of that shirked the code-as-files paradigm was smalltalk. Arguably that did not do the language a lot of favors, in that one of the main problems with smalltalk was that it always felt like a walled garden. It was definitely a very /nice/ garden, but interacting with the rest of the system was a very alien experience.
