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 saw Node-RED recently, and now this. While I think these are cool (and I would rather Erlang than NodeJS), is there some code based system for these kinds of things?

I know I can just write code, but I mean a DSL or some library specifically oriented around solving exactly these kinds of event driven sequencing/action problems.

I suggest one of Benthos' descendants, either Bento or RedPanda Connect.

Configuration driven, with a transformation DSL, and good documentation (I prefer the Bento documentation over RedPanda Connect's documentation). And Benthos explicitly refused to ack a consumed message upstream unless it had been acknowledged downstream, so it wouldn't drop messages on the floor unless you explicitly told it to.
