I'm also curious about this. The folks I hear about Temporal from seem to be very disjoint from Airflow users, and Temporal's python client is still alpha-stage

It seems notable to me that the big Prefect rewrite mentioned elsewhere [0] leans into the same "workflow" terminology that Temporal uses. I have to wonder if Prefect saw Temporal as superceding the DAG tools in coming years and this is them trying to head that off.
That post's discussion of DAG vs workflow also sounds a lot like why PyTorch was created and has seen so much success. Tensorflow was static graphs, pytorch gave us dynamism.
