    Is there some language or “syntax formatter” that turns source code into something more off a visual programming language? Like a WYSIWYG markdown editor.

    Like python doesn’t have curly braces, but you could add some kind of “block illustration”.

    Or you could have illuminated initials for variable names to make them more unique.

      So IDE with syntax highlights? Those blocks things are also pretty much shown in most IDE, what do you use to code?

      I even have prettifying turned on so the keywords like in, lambda, etc are prettified.

        No somthing more than just “mere” syntax highlightinng or prettifying like e.g. in VS Code. Being able to change line height for a “headline” when you declare a new class. Or maybe lines that illustrate how a temp variable is used. But it’s all vague ideas and I can’t picture or describe it well and you’d have to demo this with a graphical design tool I think.
