Introducing Flyde: Revolutionizing Visual Programming for Modern Web Applications
cj.burrito

Mar 7, 2024 - 10:25pm

I'm really thrilled to share a project I've been passionately working on called Flyde, which is an open-source visual programming language. It's been a journey of exploration, drawing inspiration from various tools like Zapier, Pipedream, NodeRED, NoFlo.js, and even the foundational concepts of Flow-Based Programming articulated by J. Paul Morisson. Despite the greatness of these tools, I found each falling short in one way or another according to my vision – either in flexibility, abstraction level, or integration capabilities with current ecosystems. Flyde is designed to bridge this gap. It complements traditional textual coding rather than replacing it, integrating seamlessly with TypeScript/JavaScript. It’s built for the modern web application layer, aiming to make programming more accessible and intuitive, especially for tasks involving concurrency and asynchronicity which can be visually managed with ease. The key here isn't just visual programming but creating a robust, flexible foundation that fosters easy integration into and out of existing code bases. I'm excited for its potential adoption, especially as I plan to introduce Flyde-based visual API builder Trigg as a specific use-case, emphasizing its utility in production systems. The goal is to evolve towards a model where various languages like Python could be supported, and where components could interoperate regardless of the language they're implemented in. Your thoughts and feedback on Flyde’s direction, especially regarding its practical use and integration capabilities, would be invaluable.

The potatoes in the garden are growing nicely despite being very young. Kale has been partly consumed, with enough remaining for occasional meals, while Bok choy needs to be eaten soon. Romaine lettuce is prospering and there is still plenty left despite consumption last week, and the broccolini is flowering and should be used soon, possibly in a stir fry. Unfortunately, the Brussel sprouts plant will not yield produce and the spinach seeds have not shown any growth yet.

The Rediscovery of Leisure: Pieper's Perspective

Feb 12, 2024 - 5:27pm

Pieper posited that historically, leisure was a crucial aspect of life, revered more than work. Ancient Greeks defined work as the absence of leisure, and leisure was viewed as an ultimate goal, not a mere respite from labor. In modern times, this perspective has reversed, with work taking precedence and leisure seen as a break or reward for work. Pieper described leisure as a profound state of the soul, involving deep contemplation and engagement with reality.

Chasing the Holy Grail of Linear Time Complexity

Feb 4, 2024 - 9:10pm

There is ongoing research in algorithm optimization, but as of now, there's no known universal technology or method to reduce every problem with quadratic complexity to linear complexity. The ability to do so would represent a significant breakthrough in computer science. However, for specific cases and problems, there exist various algorithms and techniques that can improve efficiency from quadratic to linear or near-linear time complexity. Whether a universal solution will be discovered in the future remains an open question in the field.
