I think that it will be a good idea if people can see not only the program but also the process of programming. I know that it is possible to tell the computer undo and redo commands but this is limited and if I leave a program and go back to it then it is impossible to tell it undo. I think that it should not be a problem (unless the program is very large and the programmer did a lot of changes so the computer cannot remember everything). I think that if the target is to help beginners then an option of looking at the process of programming can be productive. Unfortunately I do not know about a way to save the process of programming.
