"A Notebook system based on Emacs borrowing from existing config files. This system works from a single org file as an attempt to be as easy as possible for non-emacs users. It handles analyses in any language supported by org and through any server with a ssh interface. Since, its contents (an org file) are automatically rendered in Github or similar, it is trivial to share analyses results with reviewers and auditors, thus providing a way for transparent review/auditing of statistical analyses. This configuration provides a more complete set of functionality than jupyter, with less hassle."
