I've downloaded his program and tried to make it compile on an Ubuntu 16.04 machine.

I've installed the following packages. libsoil1 libftgl2:amd64 racket-doc racket racket-common

Since this is a test version there still are some references to his home folder in visualizations/helpers/def-painter.rkt which is easy to fix.

Still I get the following error: FTGLfont->C: argument is not non-null `FTGLfont' pointer

This is experimental software so I don't blame him for this of course! But I would love to try it out.

I'm curious about how well this approach would handle an imperative language as opposed to a functional. I'm far from an expert on compiler design. But most compilers use ASTs internally right?

You're probably missing a font file

Aha very astute of you! You where right. I've managed to solve this issue and some others apparently there is a fault in visualizations/hyperbolic-disk.rkt that makes the program crash.

Thankfully I've gotten contact with the author who is really helpful and he gave me the tip about removing the rkt file above.

The discussion here on a general purpose tree/graph editor is far more interesting than the video itself: http://pcmonk.me/2014/04/01/why-dont-we-have-a-general-purpo...

Thanks for the link! It really explains the concept better than the video.
