Last time this came up (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7274674 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7274674) I had been working on a sort of hybrid between visual programming languages and the traditional "text in files" approach most people have been using for the past few decades. I still think that text seems to be the best way to express exactly what we want out of our programs, but I'm not convinced "text in files" is the right way to go about programming, at least not for all cases. I'm working on Code Connect (http://codeconnect.io http://codeconnect.io) with a friend and we're trying out some of the ideas first demonstrated in Code Bubbles. Instead of working with files, one works with individual functions. You can see a demo here if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuQ8NJOypqs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuQ8NJOypqs We're currently building it for Visual Studio, but we should be branching out into other languages and IDEs shortly after we release.
