Impure is a visual programming language developed by Bestiario that allows users to arrange program elements spatially to process and visualize information from various sources. Users can connect different module types like data structures, operators, and visualizers to set up processing chains and flows. Modules have inlets to receive data and outlets to pass processed data. Connecting modules with data flows allows users to build programs without coding to gather and analyze and data and create visual outputs.

2.  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

3.  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.
•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.

4.  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.

5.  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.
