This is false. The logic is simple to see why. Text is limited to alpha numeric characters restricted in a format that’s from left to right lines. It’s a very arbitrarily specific way to represent a “program”

In fact text is in itself a visual program. It’s one set of arbitrary rules as outlined above on how to represent a concept visually.

Thus there are definitely ways to represent a program with different rules with more dimensions and much less restrictions.

I don’t know how people get in there heads that in visual programming things are “impossible.” Like it’s not even a subjective thing, it’s definitively wrong.
