The Moldable Development Environment: Glamorous Toolkit is a live notebook. A fancy code editor. A software analysis platform. A data visualization engine. A knowledge management system. All in one. And it's free and open-source. https://gtoolkit.com/ (more)

Andrei Chis: Code comments as live wikis in IDEs. In this article we explore how code comments can become a live wiki if we rely on interactive notebooks to document our systems directly inside the IDE. (more)

Data Desk is a software program for visual data analysis, visual data exploration, and statistics. It carries out Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) and standard statistical analyses by means of dynamically linked graphic data displays that update any change simultaneously. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Desk

In Statistics, exploratory data analysis (EDA) is an approach to analysing data sets to summarize their main characteristics in easy-to-understand form, often with visual graphs, without using a statistical model or having formulated a hypothesis. Exploratory data analysis was promoted by John Tukey to encourage statisticians visually to examine their data sets, to formulate hypotheses that could be tested on new data-sets. Tukey's championing of EDA encouraged the development of statistical computing packages, especially S at BellLabs: The S programming language inspired the systems 'S'-PLUS and R. This family of statistical-computing environments featured vastly improved dynamic visualization capabilities, which allowed statisticians to identify outliers and patterns in data that merited further study. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploratory_data_analysis (more)

R is a programming language and free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. It is supported by the R Core Team and the R Foundation for Statistical Computing.[7] It is widely used among statisticians and data miners for developing statistical software and data analysis. Polls, data mining surveys, and studies of scholarly literature databases show that R is highly popular;[8] since August 2021, R ranks 14th in the TIOBE index, a measure of programming language popularity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_(programming_language)

In computer science, garbage in, garbage out (GIGO) is the concept that flawed, or nonsense (garbage) input data produces nonsense output. Rubbish in, rubbish out (RIRO) is an alternate wording.[1][2][3] The principle also applies more generally to all analysis and logic, in that arguments are unsound if their premises are flawed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_in,_garbage_out cf Systemantics, Semantic Web, Oracle, social science, claim refactoring service (more)

Text Editor/IDE. LightTable is an integrated development environment for software engineering developed by Chris Granger and Robert Attorri. It features real-time feedback allowing instant execution, debugging and access to documentation.[5] The instant feedback provides an unusual execution environment intended to help developing abstractions.[6] The development team attempted to create a program which shows the programmer what the effects of their additions are in real-time, rather than requiring them to work out the effects as they write the code.[7] Though the program began by only supporting Clojure, it has since aimed to support Python and JavaScript due to their popularity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_Table_(software) (more)

Microsoft Visual Studio is an integrated development environment (IDE) from Microsoft. It is used to develop computer programs, as well as websites, web apps, web services and mobile apps. Visual Studio uses Microsoft software development platforms such as Windows API, Windows Forms, Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Store and Microsoft Silverlight. It can produce both native code and managed code. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Visual_Studio

Foam is a personal knowledge management and sharing system (note-taking apps) inspired by Roam Research, built on Visual Studio Code and GitHub. You can use Foam for organising your research, keeping re-discoverable notes, writing long-form content and, optionally, publishing it to the web. Foam is free, open source, and extremely extensible to suit your personal workflow. You own the information you create with Foam, and you’re free to share it, and collaborate on it with anyone you want. https://foambubble.github.io/foam/
