windmill.dev is a modern take on Huginn: optimal performance, great DX, scale to any cluster, work with python, typescript, go, bash, and flows that are more powerful.
n8n is great because their UX is simple and they have many well-made integrations, including an automatic way of setting up the webhooks in your github account for instance to trigger automation on changes to your repo.
Windmill is less about having many integrations, and more about being able to write real code-based workflows, running on your infra and with potentially long-running jobs that you can assign easily to bigger nodes. It's a compromise between n8n and temporal for the workflow part.
Anyway, n8n was a precursor in many aspects and a great inspiration for all of us building workflow engines.
