Comment on Unit is a general purpose visual programming system

Comments

I discovered Unit in the latter half of 2022 and found it very interesting. I always loved Fusion and Houdini for the flow based programming aspects. I think in Houdini's case it is notable that is has such a long history it dates back to earlier research in visual computing...

Anyway, I used Unit as an excuse to play with OBS and stream a bit... if you'd like to see a video of how I figured out some bits about how it worked since I couldn't find anything close to a tutorial I have a video on YouTube:

Thank you for posting this! It confirms my suspicion that Unit is probably not reinventing the meaning of computation to match the new visual medium? But still quite interesting how it is laid out.
