Programmer’s Wish List – 2

Multi-column Code Editor

Imagine…

An IDE with multi-column editor. Each of them are synced. Adding a new line in one adds it in all of them.
Use one column for source, one for documentation, one for writing tests, one for logging.
Ability to add more columns to define functionality that you want to execute but don’t want to mix with the main algorithm.
Weave the code from different columns at compile time, or use byte code instrumentation to combine the sources.

Web Powered Unix Terminal

Imagine…

A full-blown Unix terminal rendered inside a browser tab.
Being able to run “shell-scripts” written entirely in JavaScript.
Besides textual output, scripts will be able to take full advantage of the terminal DOM and display graphical and interactive output.
