ProtoHyperflow(ID:5325/pro082)


Visual programming language which is a derivative subset of Hyperflow, and originated as a prototype implementation of Hyperflow.

from Fukunaga et al
"The syntax of PHF consists of boxes and arrows, a box
representing a process and an arrow representing a data flow
between processes. Boxes are called vips (visually
interactive processes) in PHF, and arrows are called
connectors."

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.
