  It's a question I get many times and while the point makes sense, I think that the value of translating a piece of code as-is to Flyde isn't that high. The resulting visual representation will resemble the AST of the transformed code and be less of a value. It's like converting assembly to C and vice-versa. It might be useful, but data will be lost and a 1 to 1 conversion doesn't really exist. On the other hand, you can easily take a single piece of your code, say a business logic of a controller in an MVC-based web service, and transform it into a Flyde flow and call it from the original controller. With that being said, I have no doubt that for Flyde to be truly mass-adopted I have to invest more in easier onboarding and safer ejection.

    Sometimes I'd be happy to just be able to give key functions in my code a 2D position in a zoomable map to aid code navigation. Maybe even just the title of the object could be helpful.
