Eastwest: a new programming language and structure editorI'm pleased to announce the Eastwest programming language and structure editor. This is a research project aimed at exploring how structure editors can help with functional programming. Eastwest introduces the concept of "token type", which is a useful way of handling bindings in structure editors. For beginners, the most interesting feature of Eastwest is that the type of an expression is always displayed at the top of the screen. Eastwest takes into account the type of an expression when displaying suggestions. Arguments can be placed anywhere inside function names which can be written in any character set thus opening the possibility of making source code resemble human language. The structure editor can handle thousands of nodes. Since it is impossible to copy/paste source code, I've created a series of videos showing how to use the structure editor and the language. the project can be found at Eastwest is based on the O'caml Structure Editor Toolkit (OSET), which can be found at If anyone knows of any similar projects, please let me know.
