Here's what I want in my ideal personal code environment.

1. Literate programming

I want to be able to write methods/functions in something like a Jupyter notebook, with text and section headings. This is a great way to both comment the code and to organize to-do lists. I want the text in these documents to have weak ties to the actual code (e.g. have method renaming apply to the text as well.) I should be able to toggle between "plain code" and "Jupyter style" views.

2. Ability to share modules across projects

Did I write some code to make state machines for project A? I should not have to copy paste it to get state machines into project B, I should be able to share the code between them. Something like Visual Studio's shared projects, but less wonky.

3. Audio recording

I suck at writing notes to myself, especially in exploratory code. However, I sometimes find myself thinking out loud. Why not allow recording of the thinking out loud, so I can hear what I was thinking later.
