I'm not convinced, Ugo. I'm sure it's possible to have a declarative flow approach. Only the interpreter or generator must be intelligent enough. Of course a declarative approach is always somewhat restricting,

Of course it's possible. It's just that XML syntax is so horribly verbose with respect to any decent programming language that it makes my skin cringe. I've seen (well, not seen, but heard of) Cocoon sitemaps
It makes my skin cringe too, but for simple flows I still would like to use XML for flow script.
As soon as I find some spare time I am writing a Cocoon component that will transform FlowScript-XML into FlowScript-Rhino and call for the end of this debate. Something like that would certainly be very useful to me at work.
