I am totally on board with you on that one.

I remember checking out this book on graph drawing, and realizing how hard a problem drawing arbitrary data structures is. And what about functional code? How do we visualize stateless algorithms?

I deeply want this to exist though. I feel like, much in the same way excel secretely represents the core of what we want to do with computers, data structure visualizations is the core of how we want to read code, especially in "tight" code involving heavily coupled structures.

My two cents: I've been working on visualising several data structures in javascript code (want watch them evolve step by step): http://pelletierthomas.com/datastructures/exec/?file=heap/he...
