The cleaned-up code (which I call 'prozed') looks like the coloured
bits of code at:
http://liquiddevelopment.blogspot.com/2006/01/software-roadmap.html

proze and intent (my rSpec-like framework) produce stuff like:

###############################################
people = [
    "john",
    "mike",
    "Sam"
]

story "Turning people names to uppercase"
    people to upcase should be ["JOHN","MIKE","SAM"]
###############################################

and

###############################################
story "Using Cashflows"
        Let's now deal with cashflows

        with  Conventional discount = continuously compounded yield

        we  expect about 271.67748, as the
            present value of
              Cashflow  [
                 100 at 1 year ,
                 100 at 2 years ,
                 100 at 3 years
              ],
              with interest rate at   5 percent
###############################################


this code is easily readable and the intentional code could be
automatically imported within the editor (FreeRIDE has a nice system
to write plugins to connect to the repository) while the appropriate
gems get downloaded in background.


What do you say? Shall we join forces?
