🎥 Generic Tree Editor prototype by Vladimir Gordeev. Lively discussion in the 🧵Slack Thread

This video demonstrates a generic tree editor prototype. It is possible to edit any source code using any editor, as long as it's text-based.

With structure-based programming languages it's not like that: each of them requires a special editor.

This prototype is an attempt to create a generic tree editor that could be used to edit many structure-based programming languages.
