Taskr is a fast, concurrency-focused task runner for Node.js, similar to Gulp or Grunt, built on generators and coroutines. Tasks are defined in a declarative taskfile.js and composed via parallel or serial execution with a plugin-based, extensible architecture.

Use cases

• run build tasks in parallel instead of gulp
• automate sass compilation and autoprefixing
• lint and transpile javascript in a build pipeline
• define composable task automation with a taskfile
• replace grunt with a lightweight fast task runner
• minify and bundle assets via task plugins

When to choose

• you want a lightweight, fast alternative to Gulp or Grunt
• your build benefits from coroutine-based parallel task execution
• you prefer a simple declarative taskfile with composable plugins

When to avoid

• you need a task runner with active ongoing development and recent releases
• you rely on Gulp's stream ecosystem or its large plugin catalog
• you need modern async/await-first tooling like npm scripts with concurrently
