another decision: all processes will only have one record as its input
j
did we reach agreement already ?
n
I thought so 😅. But we can discuss this more if you want
j
We have a canvas with pros and cons, I am for one record, but I think we did not agree yet
n
okay let's discuss some more in a minute 😛

I checked the pros/cons table but found it hard to follow The main trade-off here is flexibility. If you have two separate inputs (e.g. for sample / reference), it is not possible to do multi-sample / multi-reference at the same time. The type checker will not allow you to call a process with two channels. You have to combine them into a single channel, which means the process must have one big record input So if you want every module to have the possibility of doing multi x multi combinations... it has to be one big record input

Yeah sorry I forgot to update this message but settled on one input and one output in the process
