    The Fast Cross-Platform Package Manager (by mamba-org)

    There are still problems, for sure! Software installation is hard! A few problems that we've noticed - * the environment resolver can be really slow when installing many packages together (which happens a lot in bioinformatics). The mamba replacement for conda works much better and is 99% identical to conda (every now and then one of them barfs when the other doesn't). * some packages just don't work. That's usually the package's fault, sure, but boy can it be painful to debug and resolve. (We've had occasional problems with salmon, for example.) * if you're coding, conda support is best for Python dev environments, and is still rocky for R. That having been said, it's improved really dramatically over the last year and I think the trajectory is good.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
