Yes i'm aware of that work, we share some common grounds, but the fundamental difference is conceptual, they interact with "code" bubbles , fragments of code treated as text, and Gaucho deals with abstractions of program entities.
I have a question about this: "They visually represent system components such
as packages, classes, methods, developers, and workspaces."
can you visually represent instances too?
Not in this version, 1.0 , but the metaphor and the interaction could be applied to the instance level!
Right now we are working on the Class and Meta-class level. But future work could go into that direction, and also debugging programs.
