I personally don't think you need to write code to get "programming-like"
features. But then again, I'm not even sure that you mean "programming-like"
features. Could you explain this a little more or tell me what exactly you
mean by "programming-like"? IAC, I think that any of this can be achieved
visually. Smalltalk-PARTS, I think, is a good example of this.

Why is it important to hand write it? Is this really what you want or is it
how you concieve achieving what you want? I think it might be better to say
what it is you need to be able to do rather than propose how it needs to be
done.
