What kind of dataflow approach are you most interested in? I've been shifting my approach to work within existing systems. One things I've been doing is abusing the intent of web-components and DOM events to create data visualization tools.
Recently my team and I decided to focus down a little more. Have you had success in bridging the gap between esoteric academic papers and industry?
@hmehta, one of my recent favorite videos generally on this topic has been from Curry On conference [1]. It's not strictly data-flow vs control flow, but it does discuss some of the more practical differences in between using monads for structuring data flows vs imperative control.
My take is that monads can be roughly considered as wrapping up imperative control flow along with the data. E.g. wrapping up the if/else choices into a data structure. Currently I actually found studying up on actual category theory easier than all the "easy introduction" things regarding monads. As in, the ideas when presented straightforwardly and technically correct are simpler than we give credence to.
