Yeah, except that in our system the graphs are still executable: http://noflojs.org/

So are your components written directly in a "lower level" language (JavaScript etc.) and then the high level structure relating those components defined in the diagrams?

Yep, in NoFlo you write components in JavaScript, though you can also use other diagrams as "subgraph" components. In other environments compatible with the FBP protocol ( http://noflojs.org/documentation/protocol/ ) the components may be written in other languages. For example, MicroFlo components for microcontrollers are C++.

Thanks - that makes sense. I just get a bit nervous with the idea that it makes sense to use a diagram-based representation all the way down the stack.
