I'll take a look, but if I never get back to you I would like to share with you this one important concept that has caused most efforts to fail.

Let me start with a quote from Brian Kernighan "Everyone knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing a program in the first place. So if you're as clever as you can be when you write it, how will you ever debug it?"

When you make a graphic based programming language the debugging better be twice as good as the programming and this includes when things get really difficult with lots of threads, or when the over arching abstraction breaks at some low level and you are exposed to the underbelly of the CPU. At least C++ lets you gracefully traverse from the very high to the very low which is why it is favored in the end, you are never stuck you can always go lower.
