== Automator ==
Does [[Automator (software)|Automator]] count as a VPL? It is clearly a visual scripting paradigm, but it is technically one dimensional as each node has 0..1 inputs and 0..1 outputs. Common sense says that Automator is a VPL, but the 2 dimensional requirement seems to exclude it. Therefore I would suggest a more direct definition of VPL, being "any [[programming language]] that lets users specify [[computer program|programs]] by manipulating program elements graphically rather than by specifying them textually."[[User:Harperska|Harperska]] 23:09, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
: I don't think that that particular definition of dimensionality has any bearing on Automator's admissibility; it's clearly a visual (as opposed to textual) medium. --[[User:Piet Delport|Piet Delport]] 00:25, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
