This is awesome.

Would be cool to see a version for a lower level language like C that would help people understand the stack and visualize pointer arithmetic.

If you found this awesome, Bret Victor will blow your mind (the coding tool is the third example): http://vimeo.com/36579366

Thank you. This guy is unbelievable. He blows my mind every time he publishes something.

I want his editor.

I've emailed him asking for it! Gregory Bell asked him on twitter as well: https://twitter.com/#!/worrydream/status/169497569855143937

No response so far.

I don't think he will answer positively. It's only a demo and somehow I don't see him releasing an unfinished program. But I can imagine other people picking up his ideas.

Actually there is someone in the Vimeo comment thread who has started a live canvas editor(1) inspired by one of the demos.

Amazing! His ideas and creative intensity are so refreshing.

great link! geez, this reminds me why i like to use web developer tools so much when i'm adjusting my CSS, HTML, and JS. honestly, a lot of my ideas come from real time editing. i love making small adjustments to my values and getting to see those take effect instantly.

WOW!

This is simply amazing.

I hope this guy makes millions off his work. For something this revolutionary, he deserves it.

Mind blown. Not just from the coding tools or the other examples, but the combination of those with a simple and powerful personal philosophy.

I can't believe the original link (submitted 5 days ago) has gotten so few views/points.
