I was very impressed by Mark Elendt's talk at CppCon about the Houdini system. It contains a very sophisticated visual programming "language".
My view on this is that text is one of the best media we have for representing precise, information dense data.
What I got from the Houdini presentation was that, when someone is trained to produce precise, information rich data using other media e.g. artists then other representations can be as effective.
