Features : - build complex and composable workflows declaratively - simple and lightweight wrapping of new components - resume-on-failure: if something fails, fix it and the workflow will restart from where it stopped - distributed workflow execution - development-friendly: when a script is modified, bistro automatically finds out what needs to be recomputed - automatic naming of generated files - static typing: detect file format errors at compile time! The library provides a datatype to represent scripts (including metadata and dependencies), an engine to run workflows and a standard library providing components for popular tools (although mostly related to computational biology and unix for now). Questions, suggestions or contributions are welcome, please file an issue as needed. Documentation A manual is available, but feel free to file issues if something is unclear or missing. There is also a generated API documentation. Installation Detailed instructions are available in the manual. In a nutshell, bistro can be installed using opam. You need a recent (at least 4.03.0) installation of OCaml. Once this is done, simply type to install the library, or: to get the current development version.","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/pveber","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/pveber/bistro/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
