I write autonomous vehicular control systems using Node Red. Apart from anything else, it is far easier to get useful feedback from the likes of marine architects and hydrodynamicists with a Node Red representation, than asking for help with developing the code to accurately reflect how the speed might decay under certain conditions with C++, for example. They are completely familiar with the maths, its how it relates that matters.
And node.js / node red is asynch, so ideal for real world applications.
