Coding in Bubbles (IDE Concept).

I came across this early this evening and thought it looked a brilliant and fascinating way of coding!

The idea is that code is split into different bubbles, each one representing a function. You can then drop and drag different methods around, adding notes to them, marking them as bugs or flagging that particular function as important. I think this is a great way of coding as coding by nature is a very logical task and so by displaying it in a very organized, logical way makes a lot of sense. Traditionally code is just displayed as a single file with methods listed one after the other which is fine for smaller files/projects with a moderate amount of functions and classes with little to no external dependencies, but when you are dealing with large projects, multiple files and lots of external library’s then this way of logically splitting it up into relevant bubbles really makes sense. So watch the video and see what you think!
