Have you heard of the Unison Codebase Manager (ucm)? In Unison ( https://www.unison-lang.org/ ) all code is stored as its AST and then you can 'chat' with ucm asking it for specific type signatures for example. Also the text you write as code really is just an intermediate representation and theoretically ucm could give you all sorts of different views on your code.
So it's Lisp with uglier syntax?
Those who cannot form a complete sentence resort to grunting and body language. When you learn to code, you'll have many fine text editors to choose from.
Formal language is certainly the most effective mode of communication for some things, but don’t discredit the value of other forms.
Also, this comment seems to discount the spirit of the post without offering any real reasons why.
- like https://www.liquidtext.net/ for program codes ? - or Flow-based programming ? --> https://github.com/topics/dataflow-programming
It reminds me a bit of Muse https://museapp.com/

What's interesting is how this forces you to think carefully about structuring your files, folders and code. It also allows you to leverage the Windows files explorer and have your code opened in multiple windows.
I'm now using VS Code. I hate how the file explorer jumps around when closing a tab (because it tries to select whatever other tab becomes visible). VS Code also doesn't allow me to easily open my files in multiple windows. Meanwhile we have browsers that allow us to freely open windows or tabs.

Edit: adjust autocorrect spelling choices

in lisp, you don't know what a given symbol means out of context (i.e. imports/macros in the environment). in unison, all functions are content-addressed so you can literally send code over the wire and dependencies are automatically resolved. it's a really cool system!
