It is implemented as an Embedded Domain +Specific Language (EDSL) in the Scheme programming language, a +minimalist dialect of the Lisp family of programming languages. + +ccwl is a compiler to generate CWL workflows from concise descriptions +in ccwl. In the future, ccwl will also have a runtime whereby users +can interactively execute workflows while developing them. -Stay tuned! * Contributing |
