Hey, thanks a lot for the comment. I'd love to see some code about the "express state machines as data". I always had a hard time with state machines, because every time I needed to add a new node, I had to reason about too many transitions, especially when the number of states was enormous. I like the BT structure because of the modularity, but it would be nice to see some other way to implement things - always a welcome addition. Regarding the BTs with channels, I'm very curious about it. Will check the article, for sure

To note, the approach in the article is basically the polar opposite from writing a data driven state machine. I default to the latter, but I think it’s worth exloring and understanding the former.
