FYI - Burr is designed with recursion in mind, i.e. the ability to kick off Burr within Burr. So you could have an action that is managing several Burr subgraphs... Or you write your own management layer here.

yep - here's something cool an end user wrote with Burr - https://github.com/msradam/phoebe
Burr just helps you, the engineer, to really control the primitives. Then adds some cool features you don't have to think about -- like observability :)

Cause I submitted it. Learning the Apache process and cranking on other things has been a slow process. But we've got some momentum and beginning more regular releases.

I agree with this post.
Otherwise the larger picture is that MCP is a land grab for building an eco-system around integrations to get access to data. Your LLM agent is not valuable if it can't access things for you... and from a market perspective enterprise pays a lot for this stuff already, and yes MCP is not thought out at all for Enterprise really... At least thankfully they added stateless connections to the spec...

Unfortunately their blog doesn't have the example they have on x.com - https://x.com/ZyphraAI/status/1888996367923888341 - which I think is more illustrative.

your comment made me think I read it wrong, but it's not closed source, they're just moving to a source available license...

yep, agreed. I think that's another way to view the current state of "GenAI" tooling (e.g. all those complicated frameworks that received $M in funding) and why things like https://www.anthropic.com/research/building-effective-agents fall on deaf ears...

+1 for vanilla code without LangChain.

Interesting! I feel like this is a cross between https://github.com/dagworks-inc/burr (switch state for context) and https://github.com/Netflix/metaflow because the output of the "task" declares its next hop...
The challenge with this approach though is that you need to run the actual code to see what it does, or as a developer build up a mental model of the code ... but it does shine in certain use cases -- and also reminds me of https://github.com/insitro/redun because it takes this approach too.

This is reminiscent of themes brought up in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42253735 and most famously in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36645575...

Forgot to mention, on the roadmap we have pluggable executors, e.g. delegating parallelism to whole agents/subgraphs to systems like "ray". Would love to collaborate with folks if that's interesting.
