> Sebastian argues that we shouldn’t try to replace all code with visual programming but instead only add graphics where it makes sense I just interviewed Daniel Kallin, the maker of the language/tool Nomnoml (https://www.nomnoml.com/), for making beautiful diagrams, which is one such place where it makes sense [0]. He had an expression I liked, wanting to make a tool/lang that felt like "drawing with ascii". I think this is the way for visual programming. You must do nice DSLs side by side with the visual representation. The text must be source of truth. It _has_ to be that way! That's how computers work! --- Don't let the hard to pronounce name throw you off, Nomnoml is a super fast and handy tool for making beautiful visualizations, hand crafted over 10 years and with no ads or login and fully open source.
