   🌟 Open-source, visual programming for developers. Includes a VS Code extension, integrates with existing TypeScript code, browser and Node.js.

   

   Yes! As a big fan of functional-reactive programming, it was important to me that Flyde builds on that foundation, and doesn't fall into more imperative paradigms.

   With that being said, Flyde does offer an easy way for node authors to set local and global state, but in a functional way - you can pass your own map as the global state, and do whatever you want with it. It's not properly documented yet, but here's the code - https://github.com/flydelabs/flyde/blob/main/core/src/execut...

   Visual programming language: SKetches of Abstract Syntax Trees. I. C.

   I always wanted to love ProGraph - I played with it back in the pre-OSX Mac days. But I found it's very hard to "read" ProGraph code, which it would seem is the thing that visual languages are supposed to enable. It could be that my brain had already been shaped into text based programming for too long to adapt.

   That said, I did create a visual toy language demo a few years back for the fun of it. It's kinda like a visual Lisp, or maybe upside-down ProGraph: https://github.com/mypalmike/skastic

    Nice! Have you explored showing live values flowing through the nodes? This seems like a good use of animation.

    I'll also take a moment to plug my Visual Programming Codex[1], which collects VPLs as though they're butterflies. I'm adding Flyde to the backlog of projects to document, but I'd also suggest looking around there for ideas. There are a ton of valuable new things you can do once you start visualizing programming, especially if you're visualizing the execution behaviour. I'd love to see you push this further.

    This is interesting, we are building https://github.com/Multiwoven/multiwoven an open-source ReverseETL and workflow orchestration is a big part of our platform, maybe I ca experiment with small use-case like setting up backend tests using flows.
