Very cool! We need to normalize powerful capabilities like this in simplified interpreted language form for the next generation of programmers.

- zerojames 3y agoThank you so much! I have been thinking about learning progressions with a language like VisionScript. I see a notebook-like environment being a great place to start; dragging and dropping is intuitive (and fun!). But if that notebook can introduce someone to the same primitives they can use in a text-based programming language? That gives you the ability to help someone graduate to a full programming environment. Notebook -> Text that uses the same syntax as the notebook (you could drag+drop in the notebook then write out the text as a starting point!) -> Writing your own programs. A friend suggested that the implicit state approach of VisionScript could be used in other areas too like audio. I reasoned that we could actually use many of the same primitive names and syntax; just a different backend. I don't know enough about audio processing, but the idea is fascinating!
