scalding take 

text is actually a bad medium for programming

scalding take 

@tuxcrafting Whats a good one? Only gui based coding ive seen has been horrific.

re: scalding take 

@freemo there aren't any good ones because currently the only graphical programming languages are designed either for beginners or for non-programmers
there have been no serious attempts at making a general-purpose one

re: scalding take 

@tuxcrafting Fair argument but even then I'm skeptical. While i couod see the benefit of better visualizations I'd argue text is still the best way to code.

Let me guys your a windows user?

re: scalding take 

@freemo nope, all my computers run some distribution of linux or openbsd
Follow

re: scalding take 

@tuxcrafting well just compare the speed fo doing something in your terminal vs a gui (the windows way)?

re: scalding take 

@freemo i didn't say anything about terminals, and i agree that having a standardized composable interface for programs is a good thing
what i'm talking about is representing programs in a more graphical way

re: scalding take 

@tuxcrafting That is likely something I could get behind then.
