codebraid VS Pluto.jl

If you want Markdown instead of Org Mode, Codebraid is great.

Fortunately, literate programming is a thing, so there are still tools for that. If you want PDF/HTML output facilities, it looks like CodeBraid is the way to go. It uses the Pandoc framework, so you can do all kinds of neat things with it.

For the Python in markdown case, you might be interested in one of my projects that allows executable Python code (including optional Jupyter kernel support) in Pandoc markdown: https://github.com/gpoore/codebraid. Pandoc does all the document parsing (there is no regex preprocessor for extracting code), so converting markdown to markdown often works particularly well.

A tool that really helped me was codebraid, it allows me to keep the code and output of said code in sync really easily.

I thought that notebook based development and package based development were diametrically opposed in the past, but Pluto.jl notebooks have changed my mind about this.

A Pluto.jl notebook is a human readable Julia source file. The Pluto.jl package is itself developed via Pluto.jl notebooks.

Also, the VSCode Julia plugin tooling has really expanded in functionality and usability for me in the past year. The integrated debugging took some work to setup, but is fast enough to drop into a local frame.

Julia is the first language I have achieved full life cycle integration between exploratory code to sharable package. It even runs quite well on my Android. 2023 is the first year I was able to solve a differential equation or render a 3D surface from a calculated mesh with the hardware in my pocket.

Re Julia there is also pluto.jl that is another notebook-like environment for julia. It's been a few years since I played with it but it looked cool, for example it handles state differently so you don't get into the same messes as with ipython notebooks. https://plutojl.org/

For this, Notebooks are often used. Julia offers a uniquely nice and interactive Pluto notebook for the web https://github.com/fonsp/Pluto.jl

I believe this is what Pluto sets out to do for Julia.

I used it as part of the “Computational Thinking” with Julia course a year or two back. Even then the beta software was very good and some of the demos the Pluto dev showed were nothing short of amazing

I think what you want is Pluto!

I like how Pluto.jl handles this:

> Pluto offers an environment where changed code takes effect instantly and where deleted code leaves no trace. Unlike Jupyter or Matlab, there is no mutable workspace, but rather, an important guarantee:

> At any instant, the program state is completely described by the code you see.
