having used labview I'd say that if that is the pinnacle of visual programming, then it has quite a bit of improvement needed.

- Jtsummers 13y agoDid I say it was the pinnacle? GGP post suggested that visual programming was vaporware. Perhaps for general purpose programming it is, but visual programming itself is not vaporware.
- collyw 13y agoVisual programming has small niches where it fits well. GUI building for example. Actually the query builder in MS Access wasn't so bad, but it was a choice of learning that or remembering "proper" SQL when I used it. Proper SQL seemed more useful. Likewise with functional programming. I uses small bits here and there when it is appropriate to write cleaner code. I would struggle to build anything of any size using FP.
