Patrick Altmeyer - Stuck in the Past

An opinionated post on outdated publication and peer review practices, as well as modern solutions. It introduces a Quarto extension for JuliaCon Proceedings that I have been working on.

I resonate with this post a lot. I think quarto is great and one of the best path forward to improved science publishing. I hope to one day migrate from my custom blogger markdown-to-html parser/uploader approach for my blog, just have limited time to tread through the process of setting up CSS etc.

One thing I was curious about are your thoughts on projects like showyourwork. I've been using it for a paper I'm working on in my spare time. What I particularly like is that it's based on Snakemake and tectonic so you can define your in depth computational workflows and don't have to worry about LaTeX too much. I'd be curious if there is room for using Quarto to do the document writing aspect. This way one could write in markdown and plotting (simple that is) can be inline rather than defining Snakemake rules. I guess the hiccup is somehow linking Quarto dependencies into Snakemake, just thinking out loud here.

Anyways thanks for the great post.

Thanks!

Interesting - I must confess I hadn't come across any of these, but this certainly looks like its headed in a similar direction.

Sounds like markdown is the intersection, so in principal I would assume the two could be combined somehow (maybe through an extension).
