Do you think they can be powerful enough to build production-grade applications some day or are they going to stay as educational tools or build into specific applications forever?

I would very much like to see a kind of hybrid visual+code language. I could see myself writing Rust or C++ code, having that generate visual bits, and then connecting calls and being able to drag off variable references or whatever.

I’m a very visual programmer, and I think especially if we think VR might eventually be useful, that abstracting away the “code lives in files” nature of things would be very interesting to me.
