"4. Exactly right, each "step" is a block in the UI with clear inputs and outputs. We would really like to have a graph view. That'll be especially useful when you put loops in the code, and of course branching."
I can't help but think that you want a state machine here, rather than imperative code that's being analysed to try and get some kind of a graph out of it..
I'm personally looking forward to a cloud, state machine based service that offers the whole long running workflow thing. The closest I've seen so far was people using xstate within temporal.io workflows.. but would be amazing to have really nice observability out of the box, with all the clarity that state machines bring.
