Well, let me put it this way. A text version of NXT-G programs was something a
lot of us wanted, during & after development. Begged for. Argued for. Pleaded &
prayed. We pointed this out to the developers, the guys at NI... who,

It's not there. Conclusions may now be drawn :).

Nor has anybody come along and made a reasonable "graphic description language"
that translates a chunk of NXT-G into something like C or pseudocode.
