VISr: Visual and Interactive Syntax (twelfth RacketCon)

While macros continue to take us to the frontiers of what is possible with embedded Domain Specific Languages, they are still limited to textual programming languages. Visual and Interactive Syntax realized (VISr) introduces the world to hybrid textual and visual programming languages. Programmers are no longer forced to choose between readable code and runnable code. VISr gives programmers the power of Language Oriented Programming...now with pictures. This talk teaches programmers how to use VISr for ClojureScript. It also introduces Frankenstein: an early prototype of VISr for Racket.
