Has someone see something like graphical or object oriented programming for Omron PLCs?

After several years of doing ladder programming I am getting bored and I think something better and faster should exist

RE: PLC (OMRON) Object Oriented Programming

Lucky for you, OOP was invented, by people who were bored out of their skulls, and amused themselves by adding multiple layers of pointless indirection to a relatively simple task.

Just as cool as spinning hubcaps, if you're the first person in the world to do it.

Better?  No difference in the end product.  Oh.  I almost forgot; you'll need a much bigger and more expensive PLC to hold the same program, and a much bigger and more expensive PC to hold the programming tool, which is much bigger and moe expensive and ... you get the idea.

Faster?  Only in your dreams.
