#BreakingTheFour-MinuteMileOfProgramming

It was unimaginable that someone could run one mile in only four minutes.

Then, Roger Bannister ran one mile in under four minutes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-minute_mile

Once this feat became imaginable, many other runners have accomplished the same feat.

Today, it seems unimaginable that programming languages could use anything but text.

Is this only a memetic barrier?

Can we build a language based on DaS? Diagrams as Syntax instead of text as syntax?

Can we build a new language in less than one day?

Can we use multiple special purpose languages instead of one general purpose language for projects?

Can we plug software components together like LEGO® blocks?

SCNs - Special Purpose Programming Languages

Solution Centric Notation
Appendix - A Diagram Language - Drawware and DaS
XML parsing
GPT for diagram recognition?
- restrict recognition to a small set of figures
  - arrows
  - rectangles
  - ellipses
  - grouping
  - text
  - other figures (rhombus, custom, etc.)

Programming Simplicity all welcome, I invite more discussion of these topics, esp. regarding Drawware and 0D
