package flow

// This file contains logic for running tasks.
//
// This implementation anticipates that workflows can also be used for defining
// servers, not just batch scripts. In the future, tasks may be long running and
// provide streams of results.
//
// The implementation starts a goroutine for each user-defined task, instead of
// having a fixed pool of workers. The main reason for this is that tasks are
// inherently heterogeneous and may be blocking on top of that. Also, in the
// future tasks may be long running, as discussed above.
