I think most of your desires can be attained with a little effort by scripting OmniOutliner in conjunction with Script Editor. Not up on Python, but if you can get your hands on a scriptable editor or a Python OSA component for Script Editor, there may be hope. My few simple tests involved:

Pasting a short (compiled) script into OmniOutliner (shows up colored, indented, etc.)

Editing it (no coloring, etc.)

Copying it back to Script Editor

Compiling

Correcting if necessary

Copying it back to OmniOutliner

All the above actions, except correcting, are scriptable. A brief look at OmniOutliner's dictionary shows it to be fairly robust. Scripts available at <http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnioutliner/extras/> point the way. Hmmm. I wonder if a multiple requests for integration would get a response?

No SPOD here either, running 2.2.6. A brief look at Omni site indicates they have fixed the likely cause. From their FAQ:
------
Every time I open a document in OmniOutliner, my computer connects to the internet. Why is this? Is my privacy being compromised?

When we create a column we create a unique object identifier. We get the ip address to help create it, but the method we used also gets the hostname (which we don't really need), and which we soon discovered has the side effect of firing up an internet connection. No information ever actually leaves your computer, though. Sorry about the confusion.

I am not affiliated with Omni nor do I hold a personal interest in their success other than I like the features and potential of Script Editor in conjunction with Outliner and Graffle.

Cheers,

JB

I know I'm jumping in late on this, but... has anyone mentioned/evaluated OmniOutliner for this purpose?

i've looked at it (more for Python coding), and it has potential, but without syntax coloring, debug integration, subtree commenting, indent level inference, etc., it falls far short of what an outlining code editor could be.. i use OmniOutliner extensively for other purposes, though, and would love to see it gain some of the Leo features (also OmniWeb, OmniDictionary ... no SPOD here, after years of use)
