NGLess

NGLess is a domain-specific language designed for next-generation sequencing (NGS) data processing, particularly in metagenomics. It features a Pythonesque syntax with Ruby-like blocks, static typing with type inference, and a strong emphasis on reproducibility and error checking. The language allows users to write scripts for tasks such as preprocessing FASTQ reads, mapping reads to references, and counting features, all while ensuring that the scripts are easy to read and maintain.
