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
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.

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.

WOW!

This is simply amazing.

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

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.
Amazing! His ideas and creative intensity are so refreshing.
