> I have my doubts about the snap style of visual programming, e.g. due it emphasizing imperative code too much, The whole point of Snap is to encourage you to "Build Your Own Blocks" which can call themselves recoursively.

There is nothing inherent in visual programming which emphasizes imperative code. You should really try it; just implementing a quick fibonacci or something.
