Abstract

Data flow based visual programming languages are an active area of research in visual programming languages. Some recent data flow visual programming languages have implemented higher order functions, allowing functions to be passed to/from functions. This paper describes a data flow visual programming language in which the first class citizenship of programs have been taken a step further, and programs can be manipulated as data with the same kind of flexibility that LISP offers in manipulating programs as data.
