Visuelm, a visual programming editor for Elm

[ad-si]

Awesome! I asked exactly for something like this 2 years ago :

Did anyone try to build a "Visual Elm"?

Hi, has anyone already tried to build a “Visual Elm” based on the concept of node graphs (aka flowcharts)? A short search didn’t bring up anything useful.* I’m basically thinking of something like Rete Studio - Code generation tool powered by Rete.js for Elm. From my experience this usually doesn’t work very well, because most programming language are too complex to model them visually (especially JavaScript). However, with Elm I think it might actually be usable! Functional (data in, data o…

But this is an interesting comment:

But now, with LLMs, I think visual programming is clearly a bad idea.

I have the same suspicion, but if there is still a textual representation of the code, then the LLM can write the textual code and the developer can use the visual representation to understand / validate the code. This could be better than textual code I assume?
