They try to address similar solutions, but comparing snakemake and nextflow doesn't do either tool a favour. They use different computation models, nextflow is based on dataflow programming and therefore schedules processes dynamically as new data comes in, while snakemake is pull-based and schedules the processes based on the dag defined by the dependencies. Anyhow they are both great tools.

- bafe 3y agoWhile these two are aimed at bioinformatics, they are general purpose enough that you can apply them to any computational workflow. I can say they saved my PhD
