Rob MacAulay a propos of the visual/dataflow programming:
Visual programming sounds nice, but in practice it is of limited
use. If you have a smallish number of modules to link together, you
could do this as easily by hand-coding. If you have a larger number
of modules, you probably ought
I spoke about the dataflow-style languages, the "circuit builders":
Simulink, Scilab/SciCos, WiT, Khoros, IBM Data Explorer (Now Open
Source) a diagrammatic layer in MathCad, LabView, etc., (+ the defunct
Java Studio).
And, of course, the notorious Visio used by some Haskell gurus

With a little make up, things
like Zermello-Frankel notation would give a good replacement
for SQL. A good computer algebra library (like the one that
prof. R. Malaquias is creating) would make Haskell a good
scripting language to replace things like Mathlab, Maple, etc.

Hi,
having worked with some CA systems I want to add that
not only the collection of algorithms is important but also the
data base of algebraic objects.
For instance the group theoretic package Magma (formerly Caley) comes
with as much information on finite groups as the the libraries of

Do you know what makes Maple so attractive for newbies, for teachers,

silly : the lack of distinction between a symbolic indeterminate,
