Super awesome write up -- thank you! Honestly I have been thinking about this problem for a few years now but not as succinctly as you have described it here. That's really helpful to split it down the line like that. It's very hard to uncouple complex topics cleanly. "Workflows" have been an area of focus for a product we've been building for a while now. A big part of that goal is to remove the "Turing completeness" from the system and keep each "block" of a workflow as a simple blackboxed data transformation. And "conditional transitions" are used to emulate business logic. It's a bit clunky though and, after reading your text here, it makes me want to sit down and think for a few hours. Thank, internet stranger, you have made a material difference in my day over here! It's a nice feeling to hop out of bed early and excited :)
