Here! But perhaps not as in typical visual programming tools. When I programmed ABAP which is traditionally heavy on methods/functions with lots of in and out parameters I always wished for the possibility to just drag some lines between parameters I want to map without having to declare and use intermedia variables.
- wruza 9y agoIt is cool to hear this from fellow business-app developer. Half-proves my hypothesis that ideas just fly in the air once you get deeply in the field. From regular developer point of view, I would like to operate blocks that merge/sort/filter datasets (dataflows), visually presented almost the same way they are in conceptual electronic blueprints, where output pin arrays are connected to input pin arrays, both having different names, but wires themselves unnamed. Current flow is not much different from datasets flow.
