arnioxux, thanks for sharing your thoughts here! I completely agree, that double representation is the killing feature of Luna. Personally, I do not believe we can progress in the domain of software design by removing the textual form. Because of that, we have designed Luna to be textual-visual, so tightly integrated, it is just one thing. For example, you can write any expression above our nodes, let it be `2+2` or `2+` (a function which will let you connect the missing argument to your node!).

However, I do not agree with your point that people don't want to code with mouse. Actually, connecting high level components visually, tweaking their parameters (with sliders, color choosers and other widgets) and observing how it affects the result you got is MUCH faster than writing code. There is of course some "base level". If you code something low-level it is much better to use code then. Where this "base level" is, depends on you and your preferences.

I would love to hear more from you after you try Luna and try to create something more complex in it! :)

What problem domains do you think are the best targets for this way of programming?
