ChainyJS - microjs task runner #26
Description
Taking a bunch of ideas here, I created https://github.com/chainyjs/chainy about a year ago. I then took a big break of programming. While I think it isn't there yet, it certainly has potential. I'm keen to garner more widespread feedback from people in this area.

yo man, yea it's in my todo list from few days. :)

@balupton To be totally honest, I'm burnt out on task runner theory. I'm quite happy to maintain foundational modules that make them easier to write (liftoff, etc) but I don't have the energy or interest in trying to rally the community around a standard these days.

What does it provide that streams don't, other than a better API?
balupton commentedon Apr 22, 2015
@contra it doesn't depend on streams, so can work with any data type - arrays, buffers, objects, whatnot. More complicated example is here: http://runnable.com/U6ichlSIeJ8quen5/create-a-geojson-file-for-your-github-communities-for-node-js-and-chainyjs

@balupton objectMode streams can also pass any kind of data around, which is what gulpjs uses. for an abstraction over streams that provides a similar API to chainy you can check out http://highlandjs.org/
