John D. Cook, a consulting mathematician, who runs the TeX and Typography Twitter feed as well as several similar—mostly mathematically focused—feeds has two posts that consider using Org-mode instead of Jupyter Notebook. It’s interesting because it comes from someone who is neither a developer nor a dedicated Org user.
The first post considers Org-mode as a light weight Jupyter Notebook. It stresses how easy it is to mix text, LaTeX markup, code, and the results of running that code in a single file. That’s a real win if you’re trying to do reproducible research or simply trying to simplify your workflow. Since everything is text, it’s easy to integrate it into your version control system.
The second post is reminiscent of Mike Hamrick’s video of using Org and Org Babel to create documents that automatically maintain their consistency as parameters change. Cook’s post covers exactly that: how to specify parameters separately from their use in order to maintain consistency as things change.
If you’re a hardcore Emacs/Org user or even a long time Irreal reader, none of this will be new to you but it’s a really excellent introduction to one tiny aspect of Org’s power. It’s definitely worth your while if you’re new to this aspect of Org-mode.
