It would be awesome if someone could fund a free open source version of Simulink (as a VSCode plugin or something like that) so that we can build normal software using model-based design. Games, shaders, ML, reactive UI, applications like these…

Simulink is getting more expensive every year, and licensing is a huge barrier to open source models.

Edit: basically, we want Dyad (https://juliahub.com/products/dyad) except free.
