Ask HN: Why does visual programming suck?
I think the reason is that text is already a highly optimized visual way to represent information. It started with cave paintings and evolved to what it is now.<p>"Please go to the supermarket and get two bottles of beer. If you see Joe, tell him we are having a party in my house at 6 tomorrow."<p>It took me a few seconds to write that. Imagine I had to paint it.
