Listen to this guy. I've know about FBP for awhile, but haven't delved into it beyond hanging out on the list briefly[1]. Seems like there are many great concepts there that go beyond the stuff I use and I bet there are many more to discover in that space, if only more people were doing research in the area. Do you know of anybody using NoFlo in production? Would be good to put that on your site if you do.

You might want to look at rx reactive for dotnet/mono. I have been using rx in combination with f# for a while and really like it so far. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/gg577609.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/gg577609.aspx I do not understand why MSFT pronounces the linq/monad aspect of rx so much and dont advertise it's push based dataflow aspect. People would have a much easier time getting additional information and perspectives. Good information on FBP can be found here: http://www.jpaulmorrison.com/fbp/ http://www.jpaulmorrison.com/fbp/ It's also interesting to see the relationship between process calculi based dataflow and actor model based agent implementations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actor_model_and_process_calculi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actor_model_and_process_calculi I do hope that new developments in pull based FRP and push based implementations like rx lead to some elegant push/pull combination sometime.
