A short interview with James Gosling about his current project, Jackpot. Jackpot is a programming environment in which the programmer manipulates the AST directly instead of the (textual) source code.
Sounds very similar to Simonyi's Intentional Programming.

In the late seventies and early eighties, the Mentor and Centaur systems developed at INRIA were offering a language-independent environment for AST manipulations
(structured editing, transformations, natural semantics).
This approach goes way back !

Well, as Andrew now knows, we did reply...we'd love to hear from anyone potentially interested, in any country, although teleworking is unlikely to be a serious option unless we really can't fill the positions with people in the UK.
And yeah, the overall approach goes way back. But, it ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it...and this is an idea which is long overdue.
