The cover of the September 1984 issue of Scientific American
featured a program in a visual programming language by Lanier
called "Mandala". (This issue contains articles by authors
such as Alan Kay, Niklaus Wirth, Terry Winograd, Stephen
Wolfram, and Douglas B. Lenat.)
Here's a program I wrote in my visual programming language.
(I never implemented that language, though.)
