Well done! I hope things are better now :) Quick suggestion: Include a line describing what the website does on the main page, users can go to the about page and figure it out but it would be better to have a quick intro of what the site is

Kindly also read this article before deciding -- [ http://www.catonmat.net/blog/browserling-cameroon/ ]. I know the current article seems a bit tone-deaf but judging him on that alone wouldn't be fair.

Returning a function would be returning a callable object, which is what I was alluding to. The section under "Decorator Toolbox" contains no suggested usecases for returning a non-callable object, will try and think of something.

Not the OP but I think he was referring to the restrictions python puts on lambda expressions: - they can only contain a single expression - they cannot contain statements

"Decorators for preconditions" indeed looks neat, reminds me of Clojure which has both preconditions and postconditions built in.

Thanks, I stand corrected :) That makes me wonder , I have not been able to imagine a usecase for it when it doesn't return a callable, the article doesn't help in that regard either. Got some thinking to do I guess.

Technically a better definition would be -- "A decorator is a callable object which takes in a callable object and returns a callable object" but I agree that it is much easier wrapping one's head around it when the callable

Just here to say that I love Vexlio, it is an impressive piece of software, thanks for all your work :) I hadn't taken the Lua API seriously till now though, seems fun, will try it soon :)

Agreed :) when linking with native libraries conda definitely helps a lot. I was merely trying to point to the fact that after the recent release of SciPy we finally have binary wheels for Windows for the whole SciPy ecosystem.

Pipenv is definitely a game changer. Soon enough the Anaconda distribution wouldn't be necessary to get the SciPy stack installed on Windows[1], pipenv would just work™. This would enable sharing of Jupyter Notebooks backed by determin
