This is fascinating. Of particular note to me is the conception that sign language operates in parallel, rather than in sequential. Written language is sequential.
In the computer domain, parallelism is, in my experience, best expressed in circuit diagrams and sequence diagrams. This is in the picto-ideagraphical realm, which is the realm of sign languages.
Of course visual programming languages have a long and distinguished history of living in a niche. But I wonder if there is a radically awesome visual programming language expression out there that is sufficient.
