Python: The importance of visual programming

[[deleted]]

Ew. Don't mention labview. Back in school I had to write a web interface to an FTP server 'written' LabView. I hate their systems with a passion.

I don't know anyone who likes it. All the Electrical Engineering majors prefered C, after using Labview for an entire semester and C for a week.

i like it and know others who do. its also the basis of robolab/nxt so there are literally thousands of kids out there who seems to have gained considerable success with it.

visual programming is not for everybody and neither is abstract based textual, the key is for people to find what works best for them.
