  3. Node RED

    Low-code programming for event-driven applications

    Ahh, you didn't create Node-RED editor. That's an external project.

  4. gcodepreview

    OpenPythonSCAD library for moving a tool in lines and arcs so as to model how a part would be cut using G-Code or described as a DXF.

    Well, there are pages on problems such as;

    https://scriptsofanotherdimension.tumblr.com/

    https://blueprintsfromhell.tumblr.com/

    and the biggest problem is that a strong bound is screen/display size --- any code chunk which won't fit on a single screen becomes hard to follow (which direction does one scroll next?) and if one does the obvious of declaring modules, then one runs into the wall of text which one was presumably trying to escape from --- just each word is wrapped up in pretty boxes and decorated with lines.

    My take on this has always been that we don't have an answer for the question:

    >What does an algorithm look like?

    That said, I work in this style when I can, often using:

    https://www.blockscad3d.com/editor/

    to rough out a design, or:

    https://github.com/derkork/openscad-graph-editor

    for more complex projects --- though that latter usually with a special-purpose library I've been working on: https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview

  5. flowbase

    A Flow-based Programming inspired micro-framework / un-framework for Go (Golang)

    There are 3 or 4 Go FBP packages. It seems to be completely capable, but FBP itself doesn't seem to have reached enough critical mass for them to be popular.

    https://github.com/flowbase/flowbase is one, and it has links to to some others.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
