Luna [1], a new programming language that was recently
mentioned on Reddit, also appears to take this "flow-oriented
design" approach. It's purely functional, not OO, and I'm
curious to see how it evolves.

This so-called "flow-oriented design" is hardly a new idea. It
has been around since Lisp and the Unix command-line. And of
course, D ranges benefit greatly from it. :-)

It's not a new idea but they've added a visual twist to it - you
can see the program's data flow graph, manipulate it in various
ways, and see how your input changes as it flows through the
graph. So that's nice.
