Show HN: VisionScript, abstract programming language for computer vision

Hello! I'm James and I am working on VisionScript. With VisionScript, I want to empower people -- including everyone without any prior programming experience -- to build cool apps with vision. This weekend, I recorded a demo for VisionScript, in which I made apps that count how many cats are in an image and hides people in a video. Each app was < 10 lines of code. https://vimeo.com/856043804 VisionScript is built for the 10 year old inside of me who would have loved more visual programming languages with which to play. I want to show people the potential of programming and how you can make what you want with computers, whether it be a game that counts cats or an app that monitors how many birds flew past a tree. Those "wow" moments should come as soon as possible in one's learning experience. VisionScript is in active development. I started work on this project in July. There will likely be bugs; this is a passion project. Inspiration comes from Wolfram and Python. Behind the scenes, I am adopting what I am calling "lexical inference", which is to say there is a last state value on which functions infer; the language manages types and state.
