I think this talk about multi-language is quite important. I'd like to bring up a slightly different case. There is already a multi-language "Debug" perspective, but not all views pertain to all languages. If I'm debugging a C program, I'm looking at a C editor then if I step into assembly I'm looking at an assembly editor, but I'd like different views to show for Assembly vs C. This is just one example of the layout that would need to change depending on the editor in focus. I wonder if perspectives should have sub-layouts, based on other things like the editor input (Assembly/C example) or even the screen resolution. What I mean for screen resolution is if I go from a 27" 4K monitor to a projector in 1024x768, it would switch to a "presentation" layout automatically where some views could be closed or resized based on the last time I was on a projector of that resolution.
Those are just a few ideas but I think perspectives need some rethinking in general. What should they be about? When should I create one as a developer?

It’s really the only thing I run into when trying to do Java in the C++ perspective or C++ in the Java perspective.
Any thoughts on that? Is this something we can even fix?
Thanks!
Doug.
