Visual Shader editor

Will the Visual Shader Editor come back in a future?

Its a target for 3.1 though I haven't checked to see if work on it has begun or not.

Thanks for sharing. Let's hope then, I'm really too lazy to learn another language, I hope visual programming goes further, as it simpliefies (somewhat) the task of programming by just choosing a-la-carte tasks to be done instead of memorizing every class/method in the language.

Well, I mean you don't have to memorize every class and method in a language. That is why we have API documentations & class references. ;) One would need to have a basic understanding of programming concepts to be able to infer and derive fully contextual information from such resources though.

In addition, Godot 3 uses a custom API for shader authoring rather than raw GLES3 functions (so as to make it far easier to learn and use than the equivalent in Godot 2.x).

It's easy enough that I almost don't miss the VSE (though the node-based approach is always going to be easier in some areas).
