>"lines and arrows" Ruby interface, where you would drag an arrow to connect an event emitted by one object to an event target exposed by another object. He's right that this ended up not being a usable programming model for VB.
Fascinating. It's interesting that the modern Qt Creator IDE (for C++) has something similar for its signals & slots mechanism. It has the ability to draw a line from the "signal" (event) of one control to the "slot" (event handler) of another.
I've seen several demos[1] highlight this operation but I don't know anybody that actually follows that procedure. They'd rather just type in the text editor: connect(src,SIGNAL,dst,SLOT);
