At CodeGeneration 2012 we previewed the next major version of the Whole Platform.
One notable change is the new look of the graphical notations.
This post outlines my design goals and provides a few comparative examples.
Notation Design Highlights
- Optimized for visual exploration
- Consistent choice of colors across all of the Whole Core languages
- Reduced verbosity
- Better use of space (in both dimensions)
- Extended use of nested tables to improve readability
To facilitate the comparison with the old version, I show here side-by-side a few screenshots of the language notations that changed the most.
