• Status: accepted

• Deciders: sdruskat, poikilotherm, knodel, juckel, led02

• Date: 2022-03-21

Context and Problem Statement

We need to decide on a single base technology to implement the workflow.

Decision Drivers

• Project members know Python

Considered Options

• Python >= 3.10

• Java

Decision Outcome

Chosen option: “Python 3.10”, because all project members know Python well enough

Pros and Cons of the Options

Python >= 3.10

We provide Python packages to be installable through standard channels (e.g., pip, conda, etc.)

• Good, because Pattern matching

• Bad, because Not massively backwards-compatible
