Question

I’m really excited about this new and experimental language named Subtext. But it’s author haven’t released nothing about it besides some papers and videos. Should I clone it? There are similar alternatives?

UPDATE I’m looking for an example-driven VPL, not just a VPL.

Answer 1

I am sure you are aware of VPL On Wikipedia that lists many different VPL languages. You have not supplied information on what you are trying to achieve but another site is Synopsis. This is a commercial product.

From their website:

Synopsis is a completely visual RAD tool for Windows that frees you from having to write textual code and learning unnecesary programming details. With Synopsis you can concentrate on creating software instead of wrestling with mundane and complex low-level development tasks.

The image below shows how this application looks:

Granted my knowledge on this subject is limited and I do follow this to see if something really powerful can be created. I did see a project on CodeProject or CodePlex that was written in C# that allowed VPL but I cant find that URL.

If I ever do find that application I will edit this post!
