A system may provide a programming environment combining visual programming and text based programming. The system may determine a first node and a second node of a first plurality of nodes are native function call nodes of a visual graph-based programming language and determine a third node of the first plurality of nodes is a text-based node including text-based statements in a text-based programming language. In response to determining the third node of the first plurality of nodes is the text-based node, the system may interpret the text-based statements into a second plurality of nodes, the second plurality of nodes being native function call nodes of the visual graph-based programming language. The system may then generate a combined code based on the first plurality of nodes and the second plurality of nodes and compile the combined code.
