Well, I've never thought about programming in terms of text - even when
writing very mundane C++. I think about it in terms of interacting
entities and boxes, which then have to be translated into whatever
programming language I'm using.
I should be programming in UML really, but somehow I've never got on very
well with it - or dataflow langauages for that matter.
