Flor - hubristic interpreter
summary
Flor is a Ruby workflow engine (a remake of ruote) used in production for a bank’s six‑month mandate onboarding and by teams in Canada and Tokyo; it runs long‑running processes, emits tasks to Ruby Taskers as Ruby handlers, keeps executions as a single Sequel record and currently uses a Sequel-backed single-executor model, supports timers, per‑execution versioning, concurrency, and live AST hot-swapping of running flows; performance is interpreter‑level but adequate for human workflows, and multi‑worker, BPMN visualization and a HAL JSON API are planned.
