I'm a programmer. Dataflow programming is of interest to me and I'm currently trying to put reactive programming into practical use. I think in a way all those roads lead to functional programming. Of course, in an enterprise world most people's eyes glaze over when you mention any of this. To answer your question, I do think it influenced my thinking and made me a better programmer. Even at work, where I mainly program in C#. I'm in general not that big a fan of visual programming and prefer text myself.
