Show HN: New visual language for teaching kids to code

• glicol

  132 1,988 8.0 Rust

  Graph-oriented live coding language and music/audio DSP library written in Rust

Looks great!

I am working on some similar concepts but for music programming:

I feel that it would be great if there could be some examples on the landing page directly.

When I try a lesson, I get stuck; The hint is on the right but it's not very obvious; perhaps you can rearrange it like Svelte Tutorial (https://learn.svelte.dev/tutorial/welcome-to-svelte)

for the syntax I am not sure; have you considered using LOGO?

Aren't there quite a few of these? Scratch or its cousin Snap (https://snap.berkeley.edu/snap/snap.html), or even a visual flow editor for React (https://app.flowhub.io/#project/c111454c9fd2f74d37d1e8a4e739...) or the similar https://retejs.org/

> I feel like visual programming gets a bad rap because of things like this. As an electronic engineer that used to love LabView and life long user of NI Reaktor and Max/MSP, those tools are fantastic if you don’t approach them with an imperative programming mindset.

aha, in the long run I ended up making https://ossia.io which is as VPL as it can get. Yet it still embeds a LOT of textual languages.

• jscriptparse

  5 5 6.9 JavaScript

  pyx scripting language & REPL/Shell ; prs - javascript module for parser combinators

Looks great, congrats!

I made a small interpreted language on top of nodejs, for the same customers. https://github.com/MoserMichael/jscriptparse

However it turns out that you can't draw too much with node, so I didn't manage to add turtle graphics.
