Nameless: A Graph-based programming language (docs.google.com)

This has been a toy project of mine for a while. You can play with the examples in the browser-based IDE here:

Factorial function: http://nickretallack.com/visual_language/#/ace0c51e4ee3f9d74... Move a box around: http://nickretallack.com/visual_language/#/f2983238d90bd3e0a...

What you see right now is an ugly prototype that doesn't allow you to share your code or work on a touch device yet, but I figure it will be pretty awesome when you can do those things.

Btw, this isn't a copycat of NoFloJS. I started working on this in 2011, long before I'd heard of them. I was surprised at their success on Kickstarter, which makes me think perhaps there is interest in this sort of programming after all.

Criticism is welcome.


NoFloJS is by no mean original but how does your project compare to them?


Mine is isomorphic to a traditional programming language in terms of execution, whereas theirs seems to use an actor model.
