Does anyone have any experience with any graphical programming languages? I've been forced into it recently and am really starting to enjoy it.

I recommend looking into it for anyone that's never been exposed to one.

Or do you mean "Visual"? It's mostly all the same, but the GUI builder is drag-and-drop, and produces lots of useless code.

I've been forced into this at school, and I am ready to cut my wrists. /hate

Whatever happened to good old-fashioned Flash? I've never even heard of Squeak.

GLSL, if you are really into fast graphics.

I was introduced to LabVIEW.

And yeah, of course a lot of them are crap. It's a lot less stressful, I think, when reading code. The sequences it shows are more similar to how the program actually runs rather than just functions thrown together in a loop.

LabVIEW is pretty win, tbh.
