BioD

Library goals are:

• Support for most common formats of biological data
• Fast and low-memory processing, that includes:
  • Automatic parallelization where possible (e.g. BAM reading/writing)
  • Avoiding unnecessary allocations to reduce GC overhead
  • Spending hours with profiler to optimize hot paths ;-)
• Clear, documented, and maintainable codebase
• Being suitable for one-off scripts, comparable in size with those written in Python/Ruby/Perl
• Providing a platform for writing high-performance bioinformatics applications in D
