Increasing that LabVIEW was created around the same time. I can see some similarities in the visual programming. The 80s were such a fertile time!

vvvv looks cool, it's just a shame they promote the output (views of exhibitions etc) rather than the tool itself. I tried to find information and screenshots of it, but failed and gave up.

however there used to be screenshots[0]! always praise be to the wayback machine

ah and there is also a javascript version[1]!

apparently they've also changed the colours of the environment, it used to be in light shades of grey now it looks all dark mode (which I personally detest and find illegible)
