"In computer programming, dataflow languages are a class of
programming languages that model the program, conceptually if not
physically, as a directed graph of the data flowing between
operations. Dataflow languages share some features of functional
languages, and were generally developed in order to bring some
functional concepts to a language more suitable for numeric
processing."
