Awesome! Glad to see more exploration in this space. I too am exploring this, though i am perhaps making it yet even more complicated. I want to represent relationships between AST nodes in a visual way. Eg, i love Node editors in Blender and if it was given a good keyboard based UX i could imagine editing structural code in it.

I still imagine the code would be visually text, but i'm imagining that you'd be able to see a series of nodes in a code flow graph for your current editing context.

I figure AST editing (to some degree) is a generally good thing, but also representing code flow somehow is also a desired thing. It's what i do in my head, so can it be visualized in a beneficial way?

Difficult to say. Keyboard first will also be a challenge as i'll need to have a lot of intelligent alignment and visual compression.

Thanks for the post! Love to see work in this space.
