When I saw this video, I instantly thought it would be tremendously helpful for students who are getting started in computer science, and really wish that we could make a simple IDE for beginning students with this functionality.
Visualizing Code to Fail Faster
In What You Can't See You Can't Get I mentioned in passing how frustrated I was that the state of the art in code editors and IDE has advanced so little since 2003. A number of commenters pointed out the amazing Bret Victor talk Inventing on Principle. I hadn't seen this, but thanks for mention...
