helo HN, joreg here, one of the devvvvs team of 5. After more than 7 years in R&D we've just released the second major release of our visual live programming environment vvvv, titled "vvvv gamma". It uses our language "VL" which compiles to C# using roslyn and it is using state hot-reload to allow you to modify programs while they are running.
It combines metaphors known from dataflow programming with others known from OOP and functional programming, but all visual. Still if you want you can extend it with C# code easily and even consume any .NET library from nuget.org directly without the need to write any plugin-wrapper boilerplate code.
From previous HN discussions we know you all have an opinion on visual programming, so please try vvvv, we hope it to be different to what you expect. It is free for non-commercial use without any restrictions, no registration required. Windows only for now.
Looking forward to your feedback and please let us know if this is something that could be useful for you!
