Leonel: +1 ;-) Visual programming reminds me of the nice presentations you see at the board of directors in a company: each one of the members comes out with a completely different interpretation. Think about UML that had exactly that ultimate goal. Thousands of (written) pages to define UML itself. The result? dead in the water. No one tries to describe a full application by UML today forget about using it to generate instructions for a CPU.
I personally trust a computer language in being completely objective and deterministic from the start. Aggregation of logical expressions and abstraction is easy to do in modern languages (not assembly) and that is more true with Python. You can use a name in place of a symbol to express a lot of things and save a lot of writing and be DRY. YET it is nice to have a visualization that gives us (the programmers) to summarize many informations at glance: our brain is very good in finding the odd among a set of evens by looking at it. It is helpful to write (by hand IMHO) better code in many occasions. Just to say that Antonio has some good points on his side, also. 2014-12-17 11:02 GMT+01:00 António Ramos <[email protected]>: > > +1 > to code a webpage in assembly :P > > > > > > 2014-12-17 7:26 GMT+00:00 Manuele Pesenti <[email protected]>: >> >> Il 16/12/14 17:51, Leonel Câmara ha scritto: >> > Frankly, I abhor most "visual" tools for programmers >> +1 :) >> >> M. >> >> -- >> Resources: >> - http://web2py.com >> - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) >> - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) >> - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) >> --- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "web2py-users" group. >> To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an >> email to [email protected]. >> For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. >> > -- > Resources: > - http://web2py.com > - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) > - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) > - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "web2py-users" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
