interesting! the axidraw v3 that I used for this (https://shop.evilmadscientist.com/productsmenu/846) has a 0.0125mm stepper resolution, which means that it is pretty close to not-worth-it to go any finer since the sizes of the scratches are already many microns wide. But certainly with better etching technology that would be a super cool update!

To those who are interested in reading more, I recommend Mary Roach's "Stiff" (and all her other work too!) highly highly highly!

you're welcome to use/snag any of it you like :) planning to keep that repo growing, so if you think of good synergies for us, I'd love to keep making useful stuff!

no worries, good to know this would be a useful feature! I'll add it to my backlog.

    pip install 'git+https://github.com/j6k4m8/frof/'

and then

    frof myfile.frof
should work!

Was thinking about rewriting it in Go recently... :)

here they'll probably be executed simultaneously, since they both have zero dependencies and the machine can run multiple jobs at the same time. (can be disabled with `--max_jobs=1` or `-p=1`).

Here's another illustrative example:

    A -> B
    B -> C
    Z -> C
In this situation, frof will schedule `Z` to run in a parallel thread ASAP, so it will likely run alongside A... and if Z takes longer to run than A, Z will continue running when A stops and B starts. But C will wait for all other jobs to finish before it can schedule.
