Visual workflow tools, particularly those that are able to support a human-in-the-loop, MUST exist for the world to adapt and effectively use LLMs. Literate Programming - coined by Donald Knuth and at the heart of Jupyter Notebooks - is powerful means of making software development a tool in the pockets a lot of people. I agree that just pressing "run" is critical to making a tool like this accessible. I'm one of the core contributors to SpiffWorkflow. We are also visual programming platform and echo your belief of the power of combining visuals with programming. I shared this article here a few months ago that delves into our methodology. - https://medium.com/@danfunk/5-ways-bpmn-python-will-simplify-your-business-workflows-2e4d67a07c77 conartist6 mentioned elsewhere in the comments of a need for a common standard for editors - I think BPMN could be that standard, or new revolutions of it, such as POWL. Collingree mentioned "good visual programming makes the software development process more accessible to other smart people" -- I think this maybe the MOST important long term benefit of these tools. More people in organizations need to understand what the hell is going on - and stop shrugging their shoulders when it turns out all the business logic is buried in 100k lines of code. Important shit should be easy to find and change. As many others have mentioned here, visual tools are not likely to see wide adoption by software engineers for all of their work. But as middle groud in which to plant business rules, so those rules can be cultivated - it could change the world and the way we collaborate on software efforts. Would love to talk to you both sometime, share war stories, dreams, and go to market strategies.
