> If anything, the more complex a problem is, the more cluttered the visual language form ends up being, and feels overloading my visual memory

I feel like you are more concerned about implementation than the idea itself. For me it's the opposite - I find it's easier to understand small pieces of text, but making sense of hundreds of 1k lines files is super hard.

Visual programming in my understanding should allow us to "zoom" in and out on any level and have a digestible overview of the system.

Here is an example of visual-first platform that I know is used for large industrial systems, and it allows viewing different flows separately and zooming into details of any specific piece of logic, I think it's a good example of how visual programming can be: https://youtu.be/CTZeKQ1ypPI?si=DX3bQSiDLew5wvqF&t=953
