kras-allele-genetic-interactions VS snakemake

Last year, my pull requests were on my own projects: two to for my Apple Watch telemetry recording app, one was for a workout Watch app, and the third was for the research project I was working on at the moment (this paper has since been published, "The origins and genetic interactions of KRAS mutations are allele- and tissue-specific" and the code is open source). This year, in order to enhance my learning, I challenged myself to contribute to others' projects. In my opinion, I have been quite successful with contributions to Fig, tldr, snakemake, and pymc3-examples. In addition, I have also taken up the challenge of learning about Appwrite, one of the sponsors of this year's Hacktoberfest, and producing educational content about the service. (With some encouragement by the offer of free stickers 🙃) I found this a great opportunity to learn about an essential world of programming that I had yet to deal with: backend services.

If you’re into data science, have you taken a look at Snakemake? I came across this quite recently, and now, I’m wondering why I hadn’t used it before (it really would’ve come in handy to automate a few data-wrangling processes).
