Over the years, I have tried my hand at many blogging tools as listed below:

  1. Jekyll based blog
  2. Org based Blog
  3. fast_template based blog
  4. fastpages based blog

Admittedly I rarely blog anyway but everytime I get an itch, the Internet has come up with a new tool! This time, its Quarto’s turn. As demonstration, here’s some rendered Python code.

print("Hello world!")
Hello world!

Here’s some plotting code generated using Copilot.

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Generate a spiral with parametric equations
t = np.linspace(0, 20 * np.pi, 1000)  # Increase the range and density for a smoother spiral
x = t * np.cos(t)
y = t * np.sin(t)

# Add some color using a colormap
colors = plt.cm.viridis(np.linspace(0, 1, len(t)))

# Create the plot
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 10), facecolor='black')
for i in range(len(t) - 1):
    plt.plot(x[i:i+2], y[i:i+2], color=colors[i], lw=2)  # Plot segment by segment
