Is it just me? Or does this look 10 times geekier than writing actual code?

I think the project is trying to be a user friendly way of writing programs, and I think that's an awesome idea, but the actual product looks otherwise.

I finished the video and still have no idea what the hell was going on through out the entire video.

Same here, the video is way too long without giving actual information I was looking for. I guess they should create two videos, one for programmers and one for everybody else.

There is a plan for a lengthier explanation video. The intention of the video was to show that it can be done. Of course, some kind of explanation and training is needed for everything, I don't dispute that.

My problem with the video is that it doesn't show me what can be done. It shows me that the ball can follow the line and with some magical symbols and lines "other logic" can be "somehow" added. It didn't do anything to tell me what other logic is possible, nor did it explain what the symbols and lines mean. So I still don't really know _what_ can be done (besides a pong game) and I've no idea what most of the on screen stuff even is or means.

I think they pursue a similar approach to programming or implementing programming logic as DRAKON.

If you believe their website it has been used in the Russian Space Program.

But I have to agree with you, this DeepUI looks a PITA to work with in comparison to DRAKON.

Visual languages are very diverse. Drakon and DeepUI have very little in common beside both being visual.
