Philosophy

Single Static Binary

• Deployment is then as simple as it gets.
• Docker-friendly.

Shell Agnostic

• Kapow!, like John Snow, knows nothing, and makes no assumptions about the shell you are using. It only spawns executables.
• You are free to implement a client to the Data API directly if you are so inclined. The spec provides all the necessary details.

Not a Silver Bullet

You should not use Kapow! if your project requires complex business logic.

If you try to encode business logic in a shell script, you will deeply regret it soon enough.

Kapow! is designed for automating simple stuff.
