I want this for C++...

The same way the horse encouraged laziness as opposed to walking right?

@beugnen I agree, sort of. I wouldn't want to use this to write actual code, but it could actually be quite useful to browse existing code or to debug a program.

@dlekic I consider myself a "real" programmer and I use both.

Have you actually written any useful programs in this IDE?

I see certain features being quite useful; yet, the colour legends need to be refined, and the zoom functionality should be controlled by a scroll wheel to step through levels of zoom based on the user's vision requirements.

Some of the flag bubble creation should be done without the user having to click anything. For syntax highlighting, it should just create a small bug icon, or boarder with a surrounding colour that indicates a bug

This video has sound!!!!! Oh shit!!!!!!

I like some of the ideas here. Although, this would pretty much only be useful when debugging or trying to understand a new codebase. I don't think it'd be useful when doing actual coding though. It'd be nice to see this as a special mode in actual IDEs someday.

The user likes this idea and hopes that it will not be too strictly copyrighted to allow its spread.

This is awesome

[theApeZape]

[VenemoDiamond]

Somehow this speaker sounds like a automated computer voice.
