Looks interesting, but I am struggling to figure out what it actually does. Some concrete example output in the tutorials would help.

- x86_64 15y agoThere is one nice example for now - split file on many using set of regular expressions. But i get it, will write more examples including web application, caching and so on.
- simonw 15y agoSame here - I'd suggest moving the design justification to a separate page and having the project home page start with a less-than-10-line usage example of something useful you can do with it.
- ed 15y agoThe thing I found interesting is its flexibility. A list of planned/implemented modules might be helpful. Once you understand that Frozen just chains together small programs (modules) that process streams of data you can start to think of all sorts of interesting applications. Of course that sounds a lot like Unix. What can Frozen do that a series of chained programs can't? A self-documenting config file may be better than a bash script, for one.
- tlrobinson 15y agoI like the idea. Unix pipes are very limited though. Something like this but using, say, ZeroMQ could be really interesting. Mongrel2 could be the HTTP server in such a system, etc.
- x86_64 15y agoImplemented modules list is in documentation on page "Modules". Planned in TODO file.
