Fascinating! Such a great demonstration of Julia's strength. I wish more academic papers are written in this fashion or include a tutorial-like/reproducible post like this.
- xiaodai 8y agoThis is so true! I was struggling with a paper yesterday and I was hoping it gave more examples. The paper felt terse but i think this could be a space constraint issue with physical journals. In the internet age, papers should be longer form with more examples and clear explanations. Heck, they shouldn't even be called papers!
- tnecniv 8y agoEven when physical copies aren't being manufactured, length constraints would still exist. Different publication venues serve different purposes and these purposes are best served by articles of a certain length. The purpose of a short Nature article is very different than a journal with 100+ page submissions.
- xiaodai 8y agoNature is printed. Exactly my point.
- simondanisch 8y agohttps://nextjournal.com/ https://nextjournal.com/ pretty much tries to establish this kind of paper writing - all fully reproducable and runnable in a docker container :) It also blurs the line between normal blog posts, jupyter like IDE and papers ;)
