I am aware of these guys and they have been around for years. The only similarity is that they have an asynchronous chip but it is implemented in the old classic asynchronous design approach with specialty circuits for their language. The language they use is Forth a ‘stack based’ language.

The flowchart programming is built to be parallel. It’s inherent to the ordering of execution.

It’s similar to ladder logic. It’s called FlowPro. You can combine flowcharts together that’s easy.

Yup the flowcharts are the key to the parallelizing of code
