Chimera-Framework is a language agnostic framework for standalone and distributed computing. Chimera-Framework is written in `Node.Js`. As a component based software engineering framework, Chimera-Framework allows you to orchestrate several components to achieve a greater goal. The components can be written in any programming language. Even an executable binary file can also serve as component.

You can use [CHIML](https://github.com/goFrendiAsgard/chimera-framework/wiki/CHIML) in order to orchestrate the process. CHIML is a superset of YAML which is also a superset of JSON.

# How it looks like

```yaml
# hi.chiml
ins: name
out: output
do:
  - |date -> today
  - |("Hi ", name, " today is ", today) -> {$.concat} -> output
```

```bash
gofrendi@asgard:~$ date
Mon Feb  5 22:10:37 WIB 2018

gofrendi@asgard:~$ chimera hi.chiml Naomi
Hi Naomi today is Mon Feb  5 22:10:37 WIB 2018
```
