Anyone got any info on "useful" (or perhaps "usable" is a better way of
putting it) structure-oriented editors? I'm particularly interested in
graphical editors that operate on program structures (i.e. graphical display
of program information based on the abstract program syntax etc.). What work
has been done since the Cornell Program Synthesizer/Synthesizer Generator
days on furthering the idea of incremental syntax/semantic checking etc.?
Any software available for use/source code for hacking?

Thanks heaps,

John Grundy :-)

Here are a few references that discuss syntax-directed editing of VLs
