Flowrows

Flowrows are a concept used in computer programming, particularly in the context of concurrent and parallel processing. The term "flowrow" itself is not a standard, widely adopted term in computer science literature, but it generally refers to a sequence of data or operations that are processed in a continuous or stream-like manner. Think of it as a pipeline where data flows through a series of processing stages.

The idea behind flowrows is to break down complex tasks into smaller, manageable units. Each unit, or stage, performs a specific operation on the incoming data. The output of one stage then becomes the input for the next, creating a chain reaction. This approach can be highly efficient for tasks that involve processing large amounts of data or require multiple transformations.

Flowrows are often associated with functional programming paradigms and dataflow programming. In these contexts, data is seen as immutable, and computations are triggered by the availability of data. This allows for a natural separation of concerns and can facilitate parallel execution, as different stages of the flowrow can potentially be processed simultaneously if the data dependencies allow. The concept emphasizes the movement and transformation of data over explicit control flow.
