I use Julia and used to use Python. I've used jupyter lab for both (although for Julia I prefer Atom for IDE)
What is the advantage of Weave.jl over jupyter lab? Is this just a way of integrating something "like jupyter" into Atom?
- phillc73 6y agoIt's a way to write scientific reports, or other documents integrating Julia code chunks, from inside your current IDE (Juno, VSCodium etc). There's no need for an external server, like Jupyter. The code execution relies on the IDE's REPL and the locally installed instance of Julia. The reports can be exported to various formats - HTML, PDF etc. In the R ecosystem it's similar to using RMarkdown.

- junippor 6y ago> no binaries in your source code make git diff more useful Oh damn that's a good one. Thanks for pointing it out.
