I find the naming of this library confusing and almost clickbait. I don't see any kind of Functor (object?) in the API, furthermore what the heck is "flowing"? Seems like a copycat to "TensorFlow".

A better suited name which encodes the core feature, "installationless helper routines", could really help this library to become actually recognized for what it can provide.

Here's another comment about the API: I would prefer a syntax like

   f.name_of_function(args)
instead of

   f("name-of-function", args)
The syntactic sugar variant is easy to obtain with Python and has the advantage of much better readability.
