Donald Knuth uses METAFONT/METAPOST as an on-the-fly calculator for math at need, including while working on programming problems.
I guess what I want is something like to:
- LyX --- where there is a focus on structure and tagging, and an ability to output a correctly typeset document
- pyspread --- where it is possible to work with data and calculations and arrive at results, including graphical ones (my current issue is that making a DXF and an SVG use different coordinate systems --- DXF is simpler, and uses the same one as for G-code, so that's what I use)
where it is possible to embed the spreadsheet cells/sheets dynamically as one used to use OLE to put a spreadsheet in a word document.
- tudorgirba 2y agoSure. Those are technical details. But ask yourself: how many things have been expressed this way? For example, what about security? Business domain documentation? Performance? Architecture? Discovering APIs? etc It's not that the idea is not useful. It's that it's incomplete. We should not get stuck on it.
