If you are implying that normal, for+while loop programming is difficult with dataflow approaches…you're right.

- galaxyLogic 6y agoThat's what I would suspect. Dataflow programing would seem to hold great promise in making programs more understandable. But there would seem to be limits as to where it can be applied (for-if) etc. It is not a universal model for practical programming, I assume. It's a bit like "pure functional programming". We can't really do that in practice because we need IO. The best we can do is to divide the program into two parts, purely functional, and imperative. Similarly I assume we could (and should try to) divide programs into "data-flow-part" and "synchronous-part".
