I completely agree with this sentiment. Writing good Haskell always seemed harder to me than something like Python. The amount I'd have to think before beginning to type was a lot, but it always seemed worth it, as there was always pot

This seems like such a significant problem for the language and has been around since the beginning of time. Considering the amount of value that Python adds to companies and individuals around the world, is there a reason that institutions

A minor plug: I've found I generate graphs and tables in Jupyter notebooks, so I wrote ipynb-tex, to allow you to reference cells from a notebook directly in your LaTeX documents. This supports tables, and figures. https://g

I've read this multiple times, and I'm sure it's an intuive argument. Is it actually true though?

Not meaning to be rude, it sounds like you're going strong and providing a great service. But if you retire in future do you plan on handing down your code and setup to someone?

ipynb-tex is a simple style sheet which allows extracts tagged cells out of a Jupyter notebook and includes them in a TeX document. Every time you recompile the LaTeX document you'll get the latest notebook output, so your documents a
