Didn't find it mentioned previously on LtU, although Pd is apparently wizened so I'd figure some folks here would already have checked it out? Considered to be in the "Max" family, I guess.

Even though several computer scientists followed Sutherland's pioneering work, somehow graphical programming didn't really take off in the mainstream computer world. Besides the LABView[3], a tool popular among industrial engineers, there is only one two-dimensional programming language that has found massive use - and that is the paradigm used in the "Max"-family of software which Pd is a member of.
