It's been quite a while since I last blogged about Dynamo, the free visual programming environment for BIM. In fact, I completely overlooked Revit support being added in version 0.2.0 last December!
A new build, 0.3.4, was released on May 28th.
Dynamo is a visual programming environment for Building Information Modeling. While Revit and Vasari are already parametric, Dynamo extends and enhances the capabilities of these BIM tools with the abstracted data and logic environment of a graphical algorithm editor, and allows users to share their work with others less inclined to write code themselves.
Dynamo is an open-source project and anyone with a programming background can download the source, build, extend and contribute back to the community. To learn more about the code, download the latest source, or contribute back, visit the Dynamo site on gitHub. The current version runs on top of Revit 2013 and Vasari Beta 2 and 3.

I have started to work on Revit, coz it started to have a cool plugins that do a parametric design
