Ok. Here's my vision: a flowscript is the location where you place your
flow logic. The flow logic is the collection of instructions that
indicate how to make the transition from one page to another.
Everything else shouldn't be there.

I hear you, but since we all agree that business logic shouldn't be in
the flowscript, I don't understand the need to discuss whether or not
it's good to have business logic defined in a scripting language.
This is an entirely separate concern.

It's hard to define what a business logic is, but it's easy to know if
this has anything to do with describing the transition between pages
(flow).

No, no, no. With this you are assuming that it's equivalent to use a
scripting language to describe business logic. This is yet to be
discussed, but this is an entirely different concern from this
discussion, thus my call to stop it until we have finished focusing on
the flowscript.
