    Hello Etienne​,

    Thank you for writing in! I've sent this request to our development team for consideration, and I'll be happy to follow up with you if this feature gets built.

    Kind regards,

    Big thumbs up for enabling snakemake on Terra!  I've written close to a hundred SM workflows and use it extensively in our work at the Huntsman Cancer Institute.  I'd love to port these to Terra for clients of our Cancer Bioinformatics Core: https://github.com/HuntsmanCancerInstitute/Workflows/tree/master

    I would also like to see support for Snakemake workflows. A major limitation of WDL is that it cannot both delete intermediate files while also caching calls. Snakemake is able to do both simultaneously by using the "backwards propogation" logic - working from the very end, it scans the DAG and continues the pipeline from the rule whose input exists and is farthest in the DAG (with exceptions not enumerated here).
