‪Ya, graphic programming.‬

There's this scene in Lain where she's programming on a portable device with a stylus, just dragging and pointing and clicking to navigate and stuff.
I want such an programming environment. I want it to death.
So I'm wondering, how would a language for such a purpose look? They used LISP in the series, but while LISP syntax is very simple (good), I'm thinking you'd want a slightly less dynamic language, to allow the environment to do better definition lookup, autocompletion, etc. If you don't have a keyboard, you'll want to avoid typing as much as possible.

So, language suitable for making a kickass drag-and-drop, point-and-click code editor interface. Any existing out there? How would a new one look?

So no-one else saw Serial Experiments Lain and started salivating at that scene? Meh.

It also sounds like something people who'd like to program shit on their small portable device would like.

Not necessarily, if you do it with a stylus or your fingers. Almost definitely not if the device hasn't got a proper keyboard.
