Most people seem to focus on the visual programming model which is just one aspect of NoFlo. I think its real power comes from the Flow Based Programming model. Functional programming is the trendy solution to the problem of concurrency these days. But I think FBP could offer some solutions in this domain too.

In my experience with LabVIEW, I found that the FBP paradigm greatly simplified process of writing highly parallel code. Whether you use the text or visual UI, I’m excited that NoFlo will bring this concept to JS development.
