    As someone who’s had a bit of exposure to PLCs and ladder logic, and dabbled in some more ‘programming’ type languages, I would love to find some sort of ‘language’ that fits together like ladder logic, but for more computery type applications.

    I like systems, not programs. Most of my software design is done by building a flowchart, then stumbling around trying to figure out how to write that into code. I feel it would be so much easier if I could just make the flowchart be the code.

    I want a grown up Scratch.

      In some sense this is regressive, but I agree that ladder logic is more intuitive.

      I hated drawing flowcharts in university, but at this point have learned that if you understand what you’re doing, you can draw a flowchart. If you don’t, you shouldn’t have written that program.

      So yeah.

      I think the environment to program “Buran” used such a language (that is, they’d draw flowcharts instead of code).
