Dgsh – Directed graph shell (www2.dmst.aueb.gr)

Hello. In English this makes me think of the phrase “dog shit”. Not sure if that’s intentional or not.

This is very interesting, but I'm wondering how it compares to just using a dynamic language like Python or Ruby for the same tasks. Curious how the line count to express the same tasks would come out.

This would have been great 10-20 years ago, or even at the coining of Unix pipes. By today's standards, however, the syntax feels clunky and dated. I'd like to see contemporary shells like nushell and elvish copy these ideas, with attribution of course, in a more modern way. That is the best way I can see to honor this stagnant project: https://github.com/dspinellis/dgsh

A solution to the One Billion Row Challenge (1brc.dev) written in dgsh would be a interesting as a benchmark.

Related. Others?

Interesting. What are the benefits of thinking of data pipelines in terms of a DAG? Why cant it be cyclical with exit conditions?

As someone who loves graphs and Neo4j I wish I had though of this.

This is the nerdiest thing I've ever seen, and I absolutely adore it.

Does the build work on Mac OSX?
