Does anyone know of a programming language that accepts input in a GUI
format, via a mouse for instance, and subsequently compiles it?

I ask because I had to write a program about a year ago that turned into
spaghetti code the more I worked on it.  I finally flowcharted the backbone
of it and for the fun of it, I flowcharted the individual procedures as
well.   When I was through I kind of resented having to convert this
beautiful, and well-organized flowchart into code that wasn't nearly as
intuative.
 My code is pretty clean and well organized, but I can see from a flowchar
exactly wwhat is going on in the program.
 I've already started writing my own language, but I really hate to
duplicate other peoples work, especially if it has been well done.
  If anyone has any information on this information on this, please mail me.
I will try and get back to this newsgroup in case someone posts something.
    Thanks again in advance for any suggestions or information.
