<div><i>Decider</i> sounds like it could work also as a name, although it seems from dataflow like work its called a switch or gate, either or I guess.</div>

<div>That’s fine. It doesn’t matter too much to me personally.</div>

<div>As far as the micro-language:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So there are typically 2 types of DSL's that occur, internal and external.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>An internal DSL is like <a href="http://martinfowler.com/bliki/InternalDslStyle.html">http://martinfowler.com/bliki/InternalDslStyle.html</a>, taskflow is already a micro-DSL internal to python (mistral is an external DSL[1]). To me there is a drawback
of becoming to much of a DSL (internal or external) in that it requires a lot of new learning (imho internal DSLs are easier to pick-up since they take advantage of the surrounding languages capabilities, in this case python). So that’s what I just want to
keep in our minds that we need to make it simple *enough*, or we will die a nasty death of complexity :-P</div>

<div>Ok, got it. Thanks. I’m just still not sure why you emphasize on that micro-language thing. IMO terms like that can scary people :) In fact, this ‘switch’ (or decider, or whatever) is just an additional API which can be used to alter flow behavior. </div>
