We aim at enhancing variable management in visual scripting to enable complex use cases and increase productivity.
Visual scripting uses names to reference variables which does not scale well and lead to user mistakes as graphs grow larger. By introducing a better management of variable types and predictable referencing, we expect to make visual scripting more robust, less prone to errors, and facilitate users' life by providing better options in the creation flow.
This will also lead us one step closer to Graph Tools Foundation data model that will enable interop possibilities between graph tools.
