This reminds me of (and makes me miss) Prograph. I LOVED that language, esp the visual modularity and the object system. And it could be so much more now since the visual dataflow programming implied automatic parallelization. http://www.c2.com/cgi/wiki?PrographLanguage for some visual idea: http://andescotia.com/products/marten/ also some pictures on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prograph _______________________________________________ fonc mailing list fonc@vpri.org http://vpri.org/mailman/listinfo/fonc
