Playground - allow for dragging and dropping of shapes etc.

Hi Folks

I'll throw in my two cents.

The domain specific knowledge required to play around in the sandbox or playground is extreme - I would have to know the scripting language itself.

IT would be nice if the playground had a UI which did not require any scipting at all - I want to be able to drag and drop shapes and arrows onto a canvas, much like photoshop or MS paint, and have the script be generated automatically. perhaps this is too difficult, but it would be very handy to have a crude version of this available. I wouldn't spend too much time on this, it was just a 'shower thought'.

@benkoshy indeed, this is how it works in the Terrastruct app. it is a looot of extra logic though, and not something easy to implement in the immediate future on playground.

Very good. Today I learned.

(Out of curiosity - what is the Terrastruct app written in?)
