If it should make sense, it should be possible to convert programs
both ways.  Typical tools of this kind are just ordinary one-way
compilers.

My experience with these "easier" and "understandable" programming
tools (Labview and NXT) is that they are neither.  Or rather; they
only make a _very_ limited subset of programming easier and
understandable.
