http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/design.html is what I have
so far, although that doesn't get into the low level stuff.  But
yes, at a low level, the dataflow aspects at least have been
immensely helpful.

Well, it's impossible to really escape it completely, but the stuff
that you're probably thinking of as real logic programming (search
trees and such) will not likely be a part of the core server,
although it will likely come in very handy for puppet AI and such.
