But how is this different from coding in, say, Django?
In Django you write a "view", which is just a Python function that is started when an HTTP request is received, and terminates by returning an HTTP response object. Then there are models, but these are just a translation layer between the Database and the view function, they don't keep state either.
I don't see how a Django view isn't a "microflow". It seems to me that the architecture is exactly the same, it's just that you don't get to choose the web framework.
