With UBot Studio it's only 6 oranges!
Has anyone here spent any significant time with Blockly? (The "language" this is coded in.)
I messed around with Blockly for a little while just for fun. I honestly think that I'm more efficient with Visual Studio or Ubot than I am with that.
Code writing goes so slow in it.
I think however, Blockly is great for novice programmers. But it lacks some of the functionality we need as IM'ers.
We need to set headers, get cookies, make PhantomJS web requests, set proxies, etc.
Plus you need a lot of the DOM parsing and navigating libraries that come with Python and C# and such.
I am guilty of using Blockly for all of my javascript programming though hahaha.
Edit:
I also wanted to add, I think it's inevitable for the future of the world to allow everyone the toolsets to be able to program.
There will be an explosion of new ideas to the world that will rapidly increase the quality of life for everyone in the world.
However personally, I hate these types of things, including UBot because it's making it easier for people to learn and get interesting in programming. This will bring down salaries through increased supply of skilled programmers. Currently in Seattle a programmer right out of college can make $100k+. This is a good thing because it gives anyone an avenue to come out and earn if they just put in the work.
So globally for the future of mankind, this shit is great and should continue to be developed.
On a person an economical level, I want programming to be as hard to learn as possible.
