Developed by Bestiario, a Spanish startup.Impure is a visual programming language aimed

to gather, process and visualize information. Visual Program: Arrange elements in space and

make connections between then to set up an information flow.

Possible to obtain information from very different sources; Social media data Real time or historical financial information Images, news, search queries and many more

IMPURE

Modules: Everything in Impure is done by modules.Different kinds of modules are able to load,

generate, analyze, convert, filter and visualize data. Other ones are controls that let users interact with the process.

GETTING STARTED

•Inlets and outlets INLETS are the ports through which they

get data from the outside world to process it.

Some inlets are required, Others are optional.

Many modules (but not all of them) do also have an OUTLET used to feed other modules and thus set up your processing chain.

One outlet can feed as many inlets as needed, enabling processing or visualizing the same data in many different ways.One can think of the inlets as the arguments of

a function or method, and of the outlet as its return value.

Impure comes to life only when CONNECTIONS define an information flow, that begins with some data source.

LIBRARY The colorful tabs on the left border are the access

point for Impure's library, which is a set of lists containing all the modules that are currently part of the application.

Five Module categories are: Data Structures : Data Structures hold a piece of

information of a given type and have no inlets and only they have one outlet

Operators : Operators always have at least one inlet. They perform some kind of operation on the data that is fed to them, and return the result in the outlet.

Visualizators : Visualizators build some kind of visual representation from the data they receive

Controls : Controls let users interact with the space or perform some complex task (such as downloading data)

Apis: Apis allow communication with many sources of information on the Internet.
