I've designed a data analytics/flow processing thingy with, what I call it, a visually assisted editor.

The idea was to let the user write the code (sometimes in the Intellij's smart template style, sometimes as a code) and to show them the code represented as a graph, with some hints regarding type inference, possible scheduling, optimizations, etc. Then the user can run in-browser simulations on small sample datasets either provided by the backend or typed ad-hoc and the graph will be coloured accordingly. And then the user can do real runs.

The language is t-incomplete, so the representations are really sleek. In fact, some of the graph nodes can carry t-complete snippets inside, but their contexts are isolated and purity is enforced.

Unfortunately, I don't think it'll ever become foss or even public.
