This is really neat! It's fun to imagine what true 2D programming could look like, unconstrained by bitmap fonts.
I'll state the obvious, though: this isn't going to be useful for the #1 time I need to code on a whiteboard: interviews. Both parties need to be familiar with the syntax in order for it to be useful.

- michaelchisari 10y agoA couple years ago, I played around with the idea of a "shorthand" for algorithms, specifically for whiteboard interviews. https://github.com/michaelchisari/scrwl https://github.com/michaelchisari/scrwl It was based on shorthand writing systems that emphasize a minimal amount of strokes, and the ability to continue strokes into each other.
- titanomachy 10y agoDid you get around to writing examples? None show up for me.
- michaelchisari 10y agoI didn't, unfortunately. Other projects ended up taking priority.
- nickpsecurity 10y agoCheck this one out as it's actively developed: http://witheve.com http://witheve.com Most of the visual, programming environments failed. The successful ones still did text for the logic. Scratch, made to teach kids, was a neat hybrid that made text visual in a lego-like way that made connecting pieces easier.
