Ask HN: Tool or package support for hybrid graphical and textual development
Tool or package support for hybrid graphical and textual development
I am looking for some kind of hybrid development environment that allows you to write software in both a graphical sense and textual sense for one of the more common languages (Java/python/nim, etc). My main point of reference is Ballerina.
One of its main pages describes what I’m looking for: https://ballerina.io/why-ballerina/graphical/

- generate code from sequence diagram tools
However the plugin is explicitly linked to the ballerina programming language, with some integrations with Java.
It doesn’t need to be tied into every framework, but the fundamentals of a language would be nice.
It also has to be able to translate every part or block to the core language it supports to run standalone.
I’ve also looked into the following other
