Check out motorway: https://github.com/plecto/motorway/ - its a few hundred lines of Python that nearly does the same as eg storm

7 points · Open discussionInteresting project. I hadn't come across this one yet. One difference that riko has is it's based around functions whereas this library (and practically every stream processing lib I've come across) is based around classes.
I personally prefer the functional approach much better. And if you compare the word count examples on the respective readmes [1, 2], you will see riko is much more succinct. But I suppose the verbosity of the other libraries come with benefits like scaling across a cluster of servers.
