Episode 29: Nextflow 2023 - 2024

Join us in this episode of the Channels podcast to get a recap of some of the biggest features to be added to Nextflow in 2023 and take a look at some of the things coming in 2024.

We tried to do this in Episode 27 but ended up spending nearly all the time discussing community and nf-core, so this episode is dedicated to just Nextflow features.

We cover Phil's top hits:

• 2023
  • Fusion support on Azure Batch, Google Batch, SLURM, LSF
  • Spack integration
  • Markdown docs, developer docs
  • New `nextflow inspect` command
  • Channel "topics"
  • AWS Fargate for compute tasks
• 2024
  • Job arrays
  • Garbage collection (aka work directory cleanup)
  • Command line interface v2
  • Improvements to Nextflow packaging
  • Workflow inputs and outputs schema
  • Module configuration / config v2
