Visual Programming: NoFlo and Flow-based Programming

[davidvm via Digitalmars-d]

Hello everyone,

I just want to share this thought with you:

I think a great way that could maybe help popularize the use of 
D, could be by developing a Flow-based programming (FBP) 
implementation for NoFlo and Flowhub.

https://noflojs.org
https://flowhub.io

http://flowbased.org
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/noflo/noflo-development-environment

In their Kickstarter they mentioned as stretch goals developing 
implementations for Java, Objective-C, and Python. It would be 
great to have a D one too. I understand they provide 
documentation and possibly assistance on implementing other 
languages.

Eris here already worked on a D-based FBP system:

Someone was already working on one for Go:

Visual tools like these, or like Bubble.is, are going to impact 
in a big way how many people build software, and what better than 
building in a great modern language like D.

What do you think? Please comment if you think this is a good 
idea.
