xoL icon based programming language: http://nzonbi.github.io/xoL/ http://nzonbi.github.io/xoL/
Programs looks cooler than text, and are easier to work with (once you learn it). Project current status is prototype under construction.
XoL is a programming language where code elements are designed icons. This makes code flow and meaning easier to read than text. I have put a lot of work to optimize the design as best as possible. The design shown in the page is an earlier version. The current design has been improved greatly. I don't want to reveal it until it is actually working. I find programs in xoL are beautiful and engaging to look at. And are easier to understand than text. The user interface is designed aiming to make writing and editing programs, easier than editing text.
The actual language has been designed specially to work well with the icon design. One key point is that xoL is statically typed. The type system aims for simplicity -it is very easy to use-. The types are represented with icons. This helps to make easier to understand the meaning of programs.
You can talk to me if interested in the project.
