Hi There,

Erlang-RED has been my project for the last couple of months and I would love to get some feedback from the HN community.

The idea is to take advantage of Erlangs message passing and low overhead processes to have true concurrency in Node-RED flows. Plus also to bring low-code visual flow-based programming to Erlang.

I am a big fan of visual programming, and also think visual and digital circuit design tools overlap quite nicely with functional programming languages.

The mess most people complain about in visual languages, also happens on text ones, the biggest difference is that visual ones make it quite clear the code lacks modularity.

Get to package stuff into reusable ICs more often.

All the best for the project.

Visual programming helps automate flows in circuit design and I feel adoption would be higher as well since most circuit designers for some reason prefer GUI
