Lu Wilson (TodePond) presents Cellpond, a visual programming language built around spatial rules on a grid of cells. The talk frames it as spatial programming that avoids the need to drop out into text code.

HN people see it as an example of spatial programming, an alternative form of visual programming, and cite it when visual programming comes up.
