I don't know how AmigaVision works, but if one wants to use a graphical 
language, I'd much rather go all the way and enjoy the two-dimensional 
layout (or maybe later even three-dimensional ;)) ) by using a flow based 
programming language like LabVIEW. Now *that* is a great way of programming 
in 2D (if only LabVIEW could be compiled rather than interpreted, because 
its interpreter is not very quick :(( ).If you have the occasion to look at 
LabVIEW, I advise looking at a LabVIEW program in debugging mode, where you 
can actually *see* the information packets go from one node to another ;))) .

You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
