Ok, so I've been studying a little bit and I believe it's possible to do a kind of "code bubbles" in Atom. The ideia would be that instead of using "goto bar definition" and see a huge source file where you're interested in only one function, you could just see that one function and then editor it, evaluate commands on it, etc...

Now I want to know - do people think that this could be a good idea?

That would be awesome — and it’s similar to some aspects of the original LightTable proposal in a way (being able to focus in on a function and interact with it).

interesting. wonder a bit about things with long docstrings.
