Hasn’t seen much love lately, but content stretches back to the 90s.

Hey HN guys ... you should read up on the Kickstarter page before dismissing this, it really contains a ton of information summarized: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/noflo/noflo-development-environme…
(The videos are especially great!)
Bergie has a lot of content on his blog as well (http://bergie.iki.fi).

That reminds me of the trend of switching from a laptop to a tablet.

I know some of these people switched back to a laptop. And I wonder why they did.

An implementation of TodoMVC is really a good idea! There is already a (re)implementation of Jekyll using NoFlo that you might find interesting: http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/noflo-jekyll/

And another one http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/hallo-editor/ (integrates nicely with Aloha editor, http://aloha-editor.org/)

Here's one example of reimplementing Jekyll (static site generation) using NoFlo: http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/noflo-jekyll/

I think it has s lot to offer also. Came across this recently. http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/noflo-two-years/
Check out also the original FBP the article refers to. It seems they had a lot of success with it on the server side of enterprise. seems like it could be ideal for web back end stuff

not entirely true. Gnome has a first class language - Vala [1] - that is for writing performant system level applications. And the community is quite active as well - https://github.com/trending?l=vala
If you think of automation, there have been attempts at bringing flow based programming to the Gnome-JS engine (think of it as Quartz Composer integrated into the desktop) [3] - plus the fact that http://extensions.gnome.org is about as automatic as you can get to customize the desktop.
Is it a difference in positioning ? Because honestly I'm a little befuddled on why all the developers on HN get supremely excited about JS on OSX... and not something like NoFlo.js integrated into Gnome.
