I loved how it displayed code in functions in separate tiles, instead of all concatenated together in a long file. And it shows the code for the other functions being called, in their own tiles.

The video in the linked article is a good short explanation of how the tool works. You can skip the hype in the article.

I think this concept could represent a significant advance in IDEs. I don't care if it's a new idea or not, it's a gorgeous implementation of the concept.

Agreed.

Following the flow of information is what I do all day every day at my new position. If I could have something like this which would allow me to quickly watch how information was flowing from one end of the spectrum to the other without having to follow the method definitions that'd be great.

I wonder how well it will work with complex multilingual web applications?

Either way, very cool. I hope I keep hearing about it. It looks really great.
