I don’t know much about this tech, but judging from the screenshot, it looks like a mix of imperative programming and visual editing that is the worst of both worlds.
I’m not surprised you moved to C.
(On the other hand, it looks like a super nifty way of having a primitive interpreted language without a parser/lexer)
I feel like visual programming gets a bad rap because of things like this. As an electronic engineer that used to love LabView and life long user of NI Reaktor and Max/MSP, those tools are fantastic if you don’t approach them with an imperative programming mindset.

aha, in the long run I ended up making https://ossia.io which is as VPL as it can get. Yet it still embeds multiple textual languages.
