Binary data would be a problem, big data would be a significant problem and libraries would be somewhat tricky. Also, if you aim for real reproducibility, you would need a bunch of more stuff, like a plaintext-readme with instructions, because leo-files are not well readable without leo. You would also need to preserve the used leo-version, which means deliveriung a dedicated folderstructure would be better anyway.

Would it be used as an internal tool in a small group with low amount of data for day to day-usage? Yes, some work is neccessary, but would be doable. As a public tool, competing with something like Jupyter, for serious scientific work and data with potential thousands and tenthousands of unexperienced users? No way. Leo is just not a good fit for this. Leo is just a small petproject where people explorer interessting ideas while ignoring quality and stability, not a dedicated vision maintainend by hundreds of dedicated experts. For serious reproducibility you must plan in matters of decades, and leo is not able to deliver that. To be fair, something like Jupyter is hardly delivering this too, but it's a big well maintained and documented project with a well prospering community going into this direction, so it will at some point likely reach it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
