v0.1.2 released. I refactored and simplified APIs. I guess it is more coherent and easier to use than it used to be. https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/noneback/go-taskflow

Yes. Data is attached to tasks via Go Native variable binding. Values are captured by task function once defined (closure). In some cases, You can change the value of the variable(like changing the value of ptr, rather than ptr itself) and

I added a more realistic example, parallel_merge_sort, which demonstrates how to pass values and how to avoid a data race among tasks. https://github.com/noneback/go-taskflow/blob/main/examples/p...

Good point. I will add some typically realistic scenario examples.

Totally agree. Dependency handling is quite tricky in a changing Dynamic Graph.

It just uses native go function closure to hold and pass data among tasks, and it requires users to consider the data race problem. Cuz in some cases, tasks are executed in parallel.

Visualizer and Profiler for graph-based task execution are crucial to improve user experience.

That's why I decided to support static graphs in the first place. After all, in most cases, static graph programming is enough, and being a user-friendly really matters.

Yep. Rendering dynamic graphs is complicated, cuz dependencies change all the time.

Agree. lightweight embedded libs like go-taskflow are used in a much different way compared to distributed workflow systems. Coders should be aware of the pros and cons of those repos or systems.

Not quite like although they may share some same concepts while using. go-taskflow is more like a lib or an embedded framework to organize task dependency and execute tasks in parallel rather than a platform.
