horses for ux courses

[Raoul Duke]

RxJS or anything like that which tries to shoehorn a graph into 2d walls of linear ascii text are doomed and make me frustrated. 

text programming quickly ux fails for anything other than linear synchronous processes. 

especially after having used Unreal Blueprints a lot. (which are terribly bad in all sorts of their own ways, of course.)

especially when RxJS throws in "finalize" in some out-of-order position in the text, if u ask me. 

actually, visual programming still has the ux problem that human cultures have an implicit ordering habit and expectation from at least written text. So a blueprint where the main control flow is anything other than top-left to bottom-right is bad coding. even the ports on the nodes have inputs on the left and outputs on the right, since english speaking people created the programming language. 

i guess we really are pretty doomed.
