Both of them are literate programming packages. The major differences that I see between them are
Literate may be slightly better for our use case because of the second point but I don't think it's worth rewriting the whole package.
Which of the two seems to be under more active development slash seems like it might have a longer life?
Agreed that it's probably not worth rewriting, unless it's more a matter of find-replace.
Weave is older due to which it has more contributors and users. It is also now under JunoLab so it might have a longer life. In case we want to switch though, it's not a matter of find-replace and will take 4-5 days.
I think it only makes sense to put in the effort to switch if we start having issues with Weave.
Weave seems to be working fine, even 6 months after this conversation, we can keep it as is for now
I was wondering, what is the difference between https://github.com/JunoLab/Weave.jl and https://github.com/fredrikekre/Literate.jl and what makes Weave more appropriate for this project ?
