Snakemake is great. Having done some work on the Snakemake internals to add remote (S3) file support[1], it clear that Snakemake is beautifully written. I'm a rust novice, but if Rust-Bio is as well designed it will go far in encouraging the use of rust in the field (assuming things like file parsing are fast and work well). As an aside, Johannes is quite prolific in bioinformatics of late[2], and recently started an exciting project to package tools for conda[3]. 1. https://bitbucket.org/johanneskoester/snakemake/pull-requests/34/remote-file-support-via-remote/diff https://bitbucket.org/johanneskoester/snakemake/pull-request... 2. http://johanneskoester.bitbucket.org http://johanneskoester.bitbucket.org 3. https://github.com/bioconda/recipes https://github.com/bioconda/recipes
