Do you think they can be powerful enough to build production-grade applications some day or are they going to stay as educational tools or build into specific applications forever?

I loved teaching Scratch. And I've written about DRAKON - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2023/04/why-arent-there-more-visual-programming-languages-an-ode-to-drakon/

I think they're useful for building algorithms. But the tools themselves aren't powerful enough for anything too complicated. I hope that changes though!
