Showing off md.Nuke.Cola, a utilities library for Nuke

[microdee]

I'm making a utilities library for Nuke dubbed md.Nuke.Cola working on it for 2 years now, extending it with what my projects need. This is a mixture of features I've implemented in my workflows and aids me a lot in daily driving Nuke. Some of the main features which may be interesting for users:

• Tool delegate Composition
• Dynamically discovered build plugins
• Folder Composition

Would any of these features be interesting enough to worth a PR into Nuke itself, modified/re-written* of course to adhere to coding and architectural standards of Nuke itself.

*: For example I feel that the build plugins are implemented in a bit hacky way. Before entering Nuke, it generates and compiles an interim build-class, inheriting from the entry-point build class and the dynamically discovered build components. Then it uses reflection to invoke the Execute function with it. If the graph of targets would be editable dynamically from a public API, the implementation could be a bit cleaner ofc, and it may open up doors for hooking targets into the execution graph written in other languages.

Nice !!!!
I'll definitely have a look.
I'm also working on some stuff on my own but it's not as advanced as what you have done

nice! how is it different than Nuke's own CI/CD generator attributes?

It's not ... I just pushed the component approach a step further ...
I do lilke your "plugin" approach .. and that's definitely something I'll consider adding
