TLDR; I took a day off from work today, although still most of my time I ended up doing my travel expenses. Talk about priorities. I am the one to blame here totally. 😄

So come around lunch time, thats when all the fluids are ready to do something different. I ended up exploring some basics about Rust. I heard a friend once said, if a prominent person (wonder who that is..) says billions over and over again, somehow people just start believing in billions. Anyways I am totally sold by my youtube feed to explore this a bit. What is this rust thing? And before I go any further, just to let you know I like programming languages and problem solving. I am not hung up on one language. I appreciate them all. Except MS access (oops)

JGraphlet is a tiny, zero-dependency library for building task pipelines in Java. Its power comes not from a long list of features, but from a small set of core design principles that work together in harmony.

At the heart of JGraphlet is simplicity, backed by a Graph, Add Tasks to a pipeline and connect them to create your graph. Each Task has an input and ouput, A TaskPipeline builds and executes a pipeline while managing the I/O for each Task. For example a Map for Fan-in, a Record for your own data model etc. A Taskpipeline also has a PipelineContext to share the data between Tasks, and furthermore Tasks can also be cached, so the computation doenst need to take place again and again. You can choose how your Task pipeline flow should be, and you can choose whether it should be a SyncTask or Async. By default all Tasks are Async.
