I think IDEs are complicated, because we insist on storing and editing code as 
text even though code is more like a tree structure. I imagine the programming 
language of the future to look a lot more like 
[Scratch](https://scratch.mit.edu/). There is a tool from jetbrains called 
[MPS](https://www.jetbrains.com/mps/?fromMenu) that even allows you to build a 
programming language that is not just text internally. Sadly MPS is Java based 
and therefore probably very memory hungry and has a slow startup.
