flapili · Answer

I think it s because we prefer using decorators for a better DX

task is a wrapper around Task class

Deceivious · Answer

Well the next question is Is task just a constructor wrapper for Task Or does it do more than that E g validation of task params and stuff Well i might as well just dig into the codes myself at this point smile
