Drawn Programming

A sort of drawn programming language. the ui would be hand drawn, with like lines connecting buttons to actions. another sort of way to semi-explain would be like how you can type commands and stuff into the toolbar in Plan 9's Acme editor. This sort of system could lend itself well to paper computing, along the likes of coloring computers and other hand-written computing systems.

So for example, you want a simple file management bar with the usual options. You'd draw the bar on the page or surface and then write the commands (New, Open, Save, others of the sort). Lines could connect to another interface for options or something.
