This is a kind of thing people built to realize they’re not that useful looking at the results (still think they can have value, it just feels too limited to be widely adopted)

Take SQL for instance: we already have tools that will take table definitions and built an UML tree from that. I used that kind of tools 3 times in my life, and threw away the result to draw something manually to really understand what was happening. The main issues were excessive visual complexity, noise from all the meaningless bindings, random component placement making is hard to mentally group components.

I’d expect these issues to be 100x worse with any code that expands beyond a single function, as the cyclomatic complexity would in average be a lot higher and we’d have a lot more noise from guard conditions and boilerplate.

Looking at it the other way works too: coding what we write everyday in ruby or typescript, but in Scratch, would be a crazy visual mess that would push anyone into depression.
