robust workflows and Guix

[Robbie Morrison]

Hi all  (also Jo in bcc)

Quite some talk within various modeling projects recently about workflows, preferred tooling (including snakemake), and the desirability of offering GUI interfaces for the manipulation of input data at least so that less skilled colleagues can spared the command‑line.

This paper recent paper might therefore be of interest in terms of low‑level tooling:

More on the Guix software:

Has anyone any experiences?

with best wishes, Robbie
