WHERE SHOULD VISUAL PROGRAMMING GO?

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

We shouldn't try to replace all code with visual programming but instead only add graphics where it makes sense. Most visual programming environments fail to get any usage because they try to replace code syntax and business logic, which developers never try to visualize. Developers visualize things like state transitions, memory layouts, and network requests. Those working on visual programming would be more likely to succeed if it started with aspects of software that developers already visualize.
