100% agree, and it's wonderful to see Snakemake on the top of HN.

Snakemake is an invaluable tool in bioinformatics analysis. It's a testament to Johannes' talent and dedication that, even with the relatively limited resources of an academic developer, Snakemake has remained broadly useful and popular.

Super nice guy too, he's always been remarkably responsive and helpful. I saw him present on Snakemake back when he was a postdoc, and it really changed my approach to pipeline development.
