Did you guys considered existing standards when you chose what to use for representing workflow definitions before choosing OpenFlow? For example, Common Workflow Language


We did and started with an existing standard but quickly, trying to fit to the standard was more complex than rolling our own.

Agreed we just created yet one more standard but the bit about the input transforms being full javascript expressions or the way we encoded suspend steps was impossible to retrofit.
