I am not sure how true this is. There have been numerous attempts at visual programming and they have generally turned out to be crap. Because syntax is actually a relativity small part of the problem.
- user-the-name 6y agoIt has nothing to do with visual programming. Which, by the way, is in massive, wide-scale use today. Game engines tend to use it, audio processing software uses it, and scientific control software also use them. But no, what I am talking about is all the tooling around the programming, which in turn relies on the massively archaic Unix command line.
- rowanG077 6y agoVisual programming can work in specific domains. But I've never seen it used in large general purpose systems.

- mypalmike 6y agoThere have been some general purpose visual programming environments which have had some degree of uptake. Prograph is one (http://www.andescotia.com/products/marten/ http://www.andescotia.com/products/marten/) - it is certainly niche but apparently there are users.
