i don’t think visual representation of structure is actually the hard part. Logic and computation seems to me is the only difficul part. We’re still writing cooking recipes the same way , using lines of text, even if the ingredients are extremely easily represented with images or icons.
- divan 7y agoFair point. I don't see how to outperform text in expressing logic and computation visually either. The problem here is a scale – what works for cookie recipes, doesn't work for "recipe" on how to build a Boeing plane, for example.
- bsaul 7y agoabsolutely. It seems that inevitably you’ll have to abstract a pack of computation under a single concept representing what the computation is globally about. hence the general focus on isolation , interface and composability. Once you’ve abstracted a set of computation under a good concept , you should be able to understand it using just a name.
