Yes, in the sense that microsoft intentional programming environment did
it'
Program is stored as a tree, and the IDE pretty prints it, the way you
choose to. It can also do a lot more, like display constant bitmap files
as thumbnails, translated strings in place, etc.
So there are no files either. Source code order goes away: if it does
not matter in which order program elements are introduced, the IDE can
sort them as you wish.
