Neo4J has a souped SQL language they call Cypher to perform queries. But since Beads data structures are typically arranged in tree form, one typically uses the loop construct to interate across them, as one is often drawing them. To that end, Beads has a fairly elaborate loop construct, with the ability to traverse 1 or 2 dimensions at once, or do a recursive descent traversal.

In a graphical programming environment one is really listing and drawing the content for editing, versus making a list of something.

You can send subtrees across the wire conveniently, subscribe to a remote machine's subtree, etc. and you can write to the hard drive the trees.

However concurrency is not really present in the system as i am emitting JS which is a single threaded system for the most part. So Beads has almost zero concurrency support at present.
