I too am interested in this. I work at a sort of intersection between traditional backend systems and industrial controls so I see a lot of Java/C# and a lot of Ladder Logic and SFC.

SFC in particular is as close to visual programming as I’ve seen be feasible and one can accomplish quite a bit with it.

I wonder how feasible it would be to develop a visual programming language that worked a bit like stringing together blocks that worked like pure functions where each block was, internally, just a function written in some language. Like some unholy marriage of SFC and Scratch.

The US needs to fall at this point. American hegemony is a threat to global democracy.

Okay but not really? Systemd does not really provide that much usability that any other init system + elogind doesn’t. The benefit to the FOSS environment is that we, as users and developers, can starve out bad actors.

Want Nix but don’t like systemd? Guix. Want Arch but don’t like systemd? Void. You know what “compile” means and don’t want systemd? Gentoo.
