Top 9 Rust Workflow Projects

I think it's unfair to call it a "thin UI layer". My own project git-branchless https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless might more legitimately be called a "thin UI layer", since it really is a wrapper around Git.
jj involves features like first-class conflicts, which are actually fairly hard to backport to Git in a useful way. But the presence of first-class conflicts also converts certain workflows from "untenable" to "usable".
Another comment also points out that it was originally a side-project, rather than a top-down Google mandate.

sprocket
A bioinformatics workflow engine built on top of the Workflow Description Language (WDL). (by stjude-rust-labs)
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital | Principal Software Engineer, Rust Genomics Infrastructure | Memphis, TN | ONSITE or REMOTE | https://www.stjude.org/
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is hiring Rust software engineers to rebuild the genomics ecosystem in Rust. We work at the intersection of computer science and genomics, and we're trying to build a better foundation upon which genomics can be done using Rust. Come work with the individuals that wrote the Rust-based bioinformatics library, noodles (https://github.com/zaeleus/noodles), sprocket (https://github.com/stjude-rust-labs/wdl and https://github.com/stjude-rust-labs/sprocket), as well as many other projects (https://github.com/stjude-rust-labs).
NOTE that prior experience in bioinformatics or biology is NOT required for any of the positions below. You must be interested in learning though! If you'd like to get a sense of what you'd be learning, check out the guide we wrote to teach software engineers about genomics here: https://learngenomics.dev.

I wasn’t sure if this would be relevant to you, but it’s a lightweight solution I built for HITL workflows. Happy to hear your thoughts if you think it’s applicable!
