Q:How many workflow languages/engines does the world need? A: As many as possible: https://github.com/common-workflow-language/common-workflow-...
Is it really so surprising that people continue to iterate and explore the space of possible DSLs -- literally, domain specific languages -- especially when people are solving problems from many different specific domains ?
What is a workflow language exactly? What benefits do they bring vs using say Python?
I wonder why it is not in Guile? I thought one of the selling points of Guix was one config language to rule them all. Or is it some syntactic sugar on top of Guile? It's not clear. The page doesn't really explain the syntax clearly anywhere so I'm a bit confused.
I don't have a reference at hand now, but I vaguely remember such a comment from the FOSDEM presentation.

I think it is actually in Guile. Even though there are not parens in sight, this is a whitespace-based syntax for Scheme. I don't have a reference at hand now, but I vaguely remember such a comment from the FOSDEM presentation.

I love workflow languages. I would really want to make a visual one with input output nodes (in a true GUI fashion). See Autodesk Dynamo for a close concept.
