Show HN: Toil, a go library for simple parallelism
indrora Friday, February 13, 2026
I was tired of having to write the same basic primitive over and over again: A channel, some control logic, etc.
So I wrote toil -- A port of two of my favorite Python functions over into the Go world. It's very simple. There's optimizations to be made for sure, but this is the result of a couple of hours of wanting something that felt Go-Like in the right way.
Summary
Toil is an open-source workflow management system that enables the execution of complex computational workflows on a variety of platforms, including local machines, clusters, and cloud environments. It provides a flexible and scalable framework for running scientific and data-intensive applications.
