Hi all,

For the IDE, maybe you should have a look at programs like Ptolemy
and LabVIEW? They provide an interface with graphicaly represented
'functions' (or 'virtual instruments') that are connected together
by 'wires'. A program consists of a number of those functions
('icons') connected together with wires. Each function itself
is a complete 'program'. In labview, you can enable a debugging
function that allows you to follow where data is changing: it
then shows moving bubbles over the wires. I like that ;).
