I don't think visual programming language can or should replace code in plaintext. I like the idea of visual programming at higher level. It can be very good at communicating data flow, business logic and processes. But each of the building blocks can still be implemented in programming languages today. I feel like AWS Step Function is very close to what I wanted. They also have a very nice builder UI.
Author here. Agree 100%. While Flyde allows you to group visual nodes together and create new ones with a "visual implementation", I foresee that code-based nodes will still be the majority.
