People interested in VP really, really should learn about DRAKON[1], the Russian style guide for structured dataflows.
I've used it for real projects and it actually solves the spaghetti problem. Compare this:[2] with this:[3].

- fsloth 11y agoA drakon node does not seem to support multiple input values? That's why these visual graphs get convoluted. Compute nodes deal with multiple input and output connections.
- TuringTest 11y agoGood call. Drakon is for control flow specification, not data flow specification. However having a standard for splitting subsystems in separate modules and laying out components using regular rules would benefit any kind of visual graph.
