Obviously ever thing is better in Emacs. With a bit of setup, found here, it is possible to have plain text, org style formatting and, evaluated code, and images at the tips of your finger.
- Org-mode is highly extensible
- Auto complete, pep8 and other options are available
- Git integration is far easier
- Messy interactive graphs
- Hard to set up
- Vim users look at you weird
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
%matplotlib inline
plt.hist(np.random.randn(20000), bins=200);
It is trivial to mix code and analysis.
def foo(x):
return x + 9
[foo(x) + 7 for x in range(7)]
[16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22]
Care must be taken to name code chunks
try:
foo(1)
except : print("Did not work")This one is named correctly.
foo(4)
print("did work")
13
My current setup after getting a new laptop is subpar, still check it out.
