Fortran also has an interesting pattern of dealing with memory, in that everything is passed by reference between functions, yet there is no need to manually manage memory like you would need to in C/C++. I've never seen code wher

This is how I work as well, where all the code I'm working with in a jupyter notebook is directly visible on my screen. Any other code is generally 'finished' and put into a text editor. Additionally, I use the following sett

One amazing GUI/visualization tool I use everyday for investigating computation fluid dynamics simulations is ParaView[0]. At the very least, it's a opensource GUI built on top of VTK used for visualizing CFD results, developed by
