npub19lt4284mghqxekzm6n5njxurnxrxhqhrva2leusdsuu5ja5jeycq66qfjk (npub19lt…qfjk) NI made a billion dollar industry out of a scratch-esque UI..
No one uses it.. not even the kids who grew up on scratch :D
I hate to even say LabView out loud these days.
My data? Being a First Robotics Mentor trying to assist teams who thought Labview was easier because it was visual when it wasn't easier at all... far from it.
We're all using java and building world championship robots now because of it.
Turns out, code reuse, libraries and ease of debugging was much more important than visual coding.
scratch is great for learning and experimenting, but even kids want to move quicker and think better in "code"
