On a serious note - there will be visual programming capabilities in the new data flow graph, but stage one of that will not have a visual programming system for writing KL. Think of it more like ICE at the scenegraph level. We are now discussing the visual programming requirements for authoring KL - the nice thing is that the work involved is really around the interface to everything we already have in place. ICE took a long time to come through because there was a lot going on at all levels. We've already spent four years on the execution engine and KL language.
We will share timelines soon and I think you'll be excited. Remember that this stuff will work within other DCCs, so it can be quite a gentle introduction to Fabric rather than wholesale change.
