I want a language that is designed alongside an editor/IDE. I want to stop putting comments in my code. I want it to be first-class for my code to be in the left pane and my comments to be in the right pane, always binded together with anchors but always separate so my comments don't have to adhere to the limitations of the code's text area.

And then I want to put rich things into my comments section like graphics and tables and such. And I don't want to have to write table-like Markdown or a shorthand that converts into graphics. I want all the WYSIWYG of Word or PowerPoint or Inkscape just right there feeling 100% natural and native.

Jupyter is pretty darn close to this. And I like it a lot. But I feel like I'm giving up a lot to make a notebook. I want this in a much more heavy lifting format.

It could take literate programming [1] to the next level. Existing tools like docco [2] can output beautiful documentation [3] with comments set alongside code. The language/editor described above would allow us to input code in the same side-by-side format.
