title: Flow Based Programming
body: <p>I have been doing a little reading on <a href="http://www.jpaulmorrison.com/fbp/" rel="noreferrer">Flow Based Programming</a> over the last few days.  There is a <a href="http://www.jpaulmorrison.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl" rel="noreferrer">wiki</a> which provides further detail.  And wikipedia has a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow-based_programming" rel="noreferrer">good overview</a> on it too.  My first thought was, "Great another proponent of lego-land pretend programming" - a concept harking back to the late 80's.  But, as I read more, I must admit I have become intrigued.</p>

  <li>Have you used FBP for a real project?</li>
  <li>What is your opinion of FBP?</li>
  <li>Does FBP have a future?</li>

  <p>In some senses, it seems like the holy grail of reuse that our industry has pursued since the advent of procedural languages.</p>
