It was a running joke that every year in our school another student would start its master thesis journey in " visual programming for the masses, but that works

  So, what do you make of the fact that most electronic / avant-garde music composition students learn Max/MSP and are in general quite succesful at it without even a computer science background

    "Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.". I think you meant: programming-background. I didn't mean to be condescending, it was just a very common master thesis subject. Go ahead and write your visual programming language, maybe I'll learn a thing or two.

      > "Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.". I don't understand the relationship between that sentence and what I said. You can do visual programming on paper without any computers involved, and I've seen a fair share of artists actually do that. TBF in my native tongue there's only one word for anything related to computer science, programming, etc which is 'informatique', so that may bias things a bit. > Go ahead and write your visual programming language, maybe I'll learn a thing or two. I actually went ahead five years ago or so as part of a team :-) https://hal.inria.fr/hal-01364702/document https://hal.inria.fr/hal-01364702/document - currently instantiated as https://github.com/OSSIA/score https://github.com/OSSIA/score
