Keep this library alive - it has a niche

[den4uk]

Hi Rob,

I am highly impressed by this library, and have intentions of creating a framework based on it. I see your "suggestions" for other libraries where you show examples of data science oriented uses (such including pandas and dask), majorly concentrating on passing a dataframe etc. However, in consecution you have far more flexibility with any kind of approach.

The "niche" I referred to, is about being able to pass ANYTHING into the pipeline, such as passing an object instance, thus being able to add to it (configs, results, other instances, etc.). This allows building of tools with re-usable steps, and having various chains joined together to form your workflows, and building libraries of them.

I would love to see this library cherish and staying alive.

Kind Regards, Denis.
