Plug — for anyone researching or otherwise interested in visual languages like Luna, I keep a collection of projects, papers, talks, references, and other related media here on Github: https://github.com/ivanreese/visual-programming-codex

As for Luna, it seems like they've gone quiet for the past while, though I believe they're still hard at work on the project. Hopefully they can improve the stability and performance of the program, because to date I've found it almost unusable.

For a similarly interesting project (albeit not visual in the same way), I recommend people also take a look a isomorƒ: https://isomorf.io





You'll find that link, and a few other great ones like it, on the "Reflections" page of my codex: https://github.com/ivanreese/visual-programming-codex/blob/m...

My favourite is the "Gallery of Programmer Interfaces" by Jonathan Edwards: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1MD-CgzODFWzdpnYXr8bE...

I can also heartily recommend following Edwards on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonathoda


Hey @spiralganglion, thank you for your wonderful codex. The signal:noise ratio is superb, and the referenced materials are amazing.


Wow, thanks for putting that together. I think this is the best list of visual programming tools I've seen to date. Very easy to scan with the images in there.


Thanks! Gradually adding more screenshots whenever I get the time. Glad to know the format works well for you.


yeah, the list is very interesting to read. The screenshots are a plus !


Hi and thanks ! Why not include https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/synt... Reaktor NI since you have max/msp and pure data on the list.


Yep, I should add that to “Inspirations”

Max and Pd are included in “Implementations” because you can use them to do general purpose programming — they just excel at audio thanks to a great standard library.


you should add Houdini, it's the biggest of them all.


Great suggestion. I love Houdini — such a neat twist on the traditional "one gigantic workspace" 3D software format.


Houdini is the best!

Also Substance Designer and Nuke.


Have you seen https://machinations.io/ ?


I have not, and that looks amazing! Thanks for the recommendation.
