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.

Are you asserting that single threaded execution of concurrent code is just as performant as multi-process execution?

Concurrency isn’t possible if there is only a single thread is my interpretation.

That is not true at all. Concurrency is a way of writing programs and is an orthogonal concern to how the program gets executed.

It certainly can be.
