There are various ways to present the same structure.
Trees, for example, can be represented top-down, bottom-up,
left-to-right, dynamically (front to bottom), graphically, textually,
etc. Each representation can also lead to different ways of editing
them. So each application wants to
Well, I'm not a mathematician, but when I have to do equations, the
problem I have in doing math on a screen doesn't come from the text
matrix, but rather from the lack of automatic tools to manipulate the
equations.
On the paper, hand written math notation is optimized enough so you can
This!
There have been so many attempts - by people who were by no means
stupid - to replace text as the primary representation of code!
And ALL of them have failed, miserably!
The best anyone has ever achieved was to enthuse a few managers,
much to the detriment of the engineers who
Thank you for the pointers to potentially relevant work.

Yes, what you write is what I had in mind. But this would really be
abandoning 1d representation. I consider this to be a very important
conceptual shift, not a mere moderate change! The presentation would be
still 1d-like, but this is not important -- you may very well switch among
several
I don't know the details of your language, but I see two possibilities:
1) If the textual representation of your language is parenthesis-balanced
by definition, just do what Lisp does.
2) If not, format quoted text like quote number_of_chars char char char
Yes I know 2) is fragile, but so is
I agree with your analysis. I especially like the fact that the editor is
general purpose. The screenshots are already very cool!! Will check this
program when time allows.
