notespace for devops

[zcaudate]

So there's a description for what is described as Literate DevOps in emacs using Org mode.

I'm wondering if there's possibility to use notespace with a library like https://github.com/re-ops/re-core for use cases like this and what a workflow might potentially look like.

notespace works with any Clojure library, so in this sense it can be used.

If it supports well a specific workflow for devops is an other question.

For me the fundamental differences between working "inside a repl only" and something like notespace are those :

1. Notespace supports rich graphical output, a simple repl supports text only
2. a repl is made for showing only the last evaluation result, it is not very good in going back (= scrolling) to previous results
3. the notespace html output keeps code and evaluation results nicely together

If this is important for Literate devops, you might nee to try

Something like notespace is more an extension of emacs. Emacs allows code to be produced, edited and evaluated all in one place which is infinitely more flexible than a repl or even a standard gui. The text you write are literally the buttons you use in the editor.

It'd be interesting to have an extremely lightweight version of grafana:

• chart templates
• being able to hook into different environments

@zcaudate it would be wonderful to collaborate on something like that a little later this year.

These days we are in a process of rethinking our current stack of tools, facilitated by @skallinen. https://github.com/scicloj/scicloj-tooling

Hopefully, in a couple of months, the picture may clarify. That can be better timing to explore those applications. Till then, I'm happy to brainstorm future applications.

@daslu: sweet. looking forward to it.
