I am really surprised that there haven't been more efforts in this direction.
I am really surprised that there haven't been more efforts in this direction. As a programmer who's recently been dabbling more in graphics, I hate having to fiddle with knobs and redo my work when I often know exactly what needs to be done and how to do it. If I need to draw an oval 10 times, I shouldn't have to copy and paste it, forcing me to redo the entire thing if I decide to make a change; I should be able to define the oval in script and use a loop to position it exactly how I want! I wish there was an editor with an interface as great as (say) Pixelmator's, but with an optional script window that let you write and edit the code for your vector graphics if you need to. Something PostScript powered, maybe? (PaintCode does something like this, but it's more of a one-way, vector-to-code mapping. Bloom promises to do a lot of this, but I haven't used it in a while.[1]) [1]: http://thebloomapp.com/features/

GLES isn't a bad way to teach graphics but I wish there was a middle ground between it and VK.
