What is rill?

rill is a Go library that wraps goroutines and channels into composable, pipeline-style building blocks. It makes concurrent code read like a stream of transformations, with helpers for mapping, batching, merging and error handling so channel plumbing stops taking over your codebase.

Pros: what rill does well

  • Turns messy channel code into readable pipelines
  • Composers like map, batch and merge handle common patterns
  • MIT licensed and dependency-friendly

Cons: where it falls short

  • Go only
  • Adds an abstraction layer to learn over raw channels

Who rill is for

Go developers who write a lot of concurrent code and want cleaner pipelines.

Who can skip it

Developers in other languages or those who rarely use concurrency.
