The last part of my post is opinion yes. My opinion is that visual coding will slowly and steadily penetrate other markets as its has for music and Computer Graphics. Its not a fact, nor I have experience with other sectors to offer a solid opinion on them. �Its more like a logical conclusion. I could be wrong but I seriously doubt it.

The first part are facts that I have collected with over a decade of personal experience with these fields. Its not that hard to prove just go to youtube and search for coding articles for python or other script languages for 3d apps vs node setups on the same apps. Nodes are actually new to 3d apps, when I first starting using 3d studio max in 2000 there was no nodes back then but there was a C API and Maxscript. Nowdays nodes are heavily used.�

Reactor has been a dominant tool since 1996 for musicians. �If you are musicians that wants to create highly modular audio setups then Reactor and MAX/MSP are 2 most popular choices.

This is not a thing I created our of my head and you can ask around for confirmation to my claims. You can ask those people if they find text easier to handle than nodes. ��

So yes I made an opinion with assumptions but I have based it on facts and personal experience. But then in the end it comes down to personal taste.�

artist in both sides , music and 3d graphics prefer foremost node setups.

Who? Sources?

Text based coding has prevailed because early computer could not handle graphics well.

I�m sure that the fact that text is easily manipulable has had more to do with it. But I have no sources right now to back up my assertion.

There is definitely a recent shift to more visual coding and I doubt that text code is doing anything else than slowly shrinking in significance.

�Where? By who? Shrinking? Sources, please.

Not that text coding cannot do this, but people associating with it, tend to not be designers and you need designers to improve workflow at least on the user level.�
�
Are there statistics?

Languages also will play a less significant role seeing the appearance of more and more specialized tools like it has already happened in music and 3d industry.�

Two sectors out of who knows how many.

PS: I�m not yelling at you, I just think that you made a lot of affirmations based on opinion rather than facts.
