There's no need to belittle dataflow graphs. They are quite a nice model in many settings. I daresay they might be the PERFECT model for networks of agents. But time will tell.

Think of it this way: spreadsheets had a massive impact on the world even though you can do the same thing with code. Dataflow graph interfaces provide a similar level of usefulness.



I'm not belittling it, in fact I pointed to place where they work well. I just don't see how in this case it adds much over the other products I mentioned that in some cases offer similar layering with a different UX. It still doesn't really do anything to help with style cohesion across assets or the nondeterminism issues.


Hm. It seemed like you were belittling it. Still seems that way.
