I've just gotten back into Erlang becuase of the lightweight processes and message passing, so far behaviour has been secondary (i.e. just learning about them)! The project is about bring visual Flow Based Programming(FBP)[1] to Erlang. FBP seems to be made for Erlang and I was surprised there was something already but there does not seem to be. My goto tool for FBP is Node-RED and hence the basic idea is to bolt a Node-RED frontend on to an Erlang backend and to have every node being a process. Node-REDs frontend is great for modelling message passing between nodes, hence there is a very simply one-to-one mapping to Erlangs processes and messages. I've implemented some basics and started to create some unit tests as flows to slowly build up functionality. I would really like this to be 100% compatiable to Node-RED the NodeJS backend. For more details, the github repo --> https://github.com/gorenje/erlang-red https://github.com/gorenje/erlang-red Overall Erlang is amazingly well suited to this and astonished that no one else has done anything like this - or have they?
