Why it's here

HN cites it as an early demo of projectional, AST-based programming whenever editors, code views or non-text programming come up.

What it covers

Part 2 of an old Microsoft Research demo of Intentional Programming, showing the compiler side of a system that stores programs as abstract structure rather than text. The uploader says the companion editor clip is clearer.
