The thing I found interesting is its flexibility. A list of planned/implemented modules might be helpful. Once you understand that Frozen just chains together small programs (modules) that process streams of data you can start to think of all sorts of interesting applications.

Of course that sounds a lot like Unix. What can Frozen do that a series of chained programs can't? A self-documenting config file may be better than a bash script, for one.




I like the idea. Unix pipes are very limited though.

Something like this but using, say, ZeroMQ could be really interesting. Mongrel2 could be the HTTP server in such a system, etc.


Implemented modules list is in documentation on page "Modules". Planned in TODO file.
