It's not really a framework, but I've been having a lot of fun live coding music in Sonic Pi: https://sonic-pi.net/ It has built-in functions for chords and scales and is pretty easy to make catchy loops.

From my perspective simple boolean means a single known value stored in one variable. I suspect the underlying code performs a number of calculations for each one of the flow chart "booleans". Of course, maybe that points to a des

I think it's a more important feature than just a cosmetic color. Imagine if you bought a truck to haul cargo, but were then told it can only transport one type of cargo at a time. That would suck.
