This paper looks useful for understanding how to visually represent code: "Unifying Textual and Visual: a Theoretical Account of the Visual Perception of Programming Languages" http://recherche.enac.fr/~conversy/research/papers/onward2014-langVis.pdf

I read Stéphane Conversy after Jack Rusher suggest him in the FoC podcast where he was featured (https://futureofcoding.org/episodes/041, thanks Ivan and Steve).
And I like Conversy's work. Not only because he compares visual and text language but also because he discusses frameworks to analyze programming language from the HCI point of view.

He told that there was not so much state of the art to do this kind of analysis. At least at the time he wrote these two articles (2012). He wrote "I propose to use a combination of Semiotics of Graphics and theScanVis model as a framework to analyze various code representations and assess their perceivability."

Does anyone here know if there is some new work since 2012 on this subject and this kind of tools to analyze code representation?
