"Dataflow variables are spectacularly expressive in concurrent programming"

Nextflow is a workflow system for creating scalable, portable, and reproducible workflows. It is based on the dataflow programming model, which greatly simplifies the writing of parallel and distributed pipelines, allowing you to focus on the flow of data and computation. Nextflow can deploy workflows on a variety of execution platforms, including your local machine, HPC schedulers, AWS Batch, Azure Batch, Google Cloud Batch, and Kubernetes. Additionally, it supports many ways to manage your software dependencies, including Conda, Spack, Docker, Podman, Singularity, and more.
Quick start
Install Nextflow with a single command:
curl -fsSL https://get.nextflow.io | bash
It creates the nextflow executable file in the current directory. You can then move it to a directory in your $PATH to run it from anywhere.
Nextflow can also be installed from Bioconda:
conda install -c bioconda nextflow
