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.


Ah, this looks great. This is how you do it, by being able to customize by embedding you get the best of both worlds.
