The graph makes for a good laugh.

Also, I want to agree, but algorithm code can look ridiculous in any language, graphical or not.

I think graphical coding and "real" coding will merge from both ends. An advanced IDE today is already sort of beginning to look graphical.

I think this is very right. We have only scratched the surface in terms of creatively experimenting with the IDE UI to give the developer more ways to quickly explore and refactor code. Text in/text out is a serious loss in fidelity from the overall input/output capabilities of a computer.
