How do you define 'a full-fledged programming language'? What do you miss in PD? And why do you feel uncomfortable with existing programming languages you may describe as 'full-fledged' so you need to beef up PD?
I am in general very sceptical whether visual programming languages scale up for complex tasks (e.g. which visual programming language is defined largely in itself -- as e.g. Lisp or SmallTalk usually are) but I would be very interested if someone can show me otherwise.
