A rule I try to follow: don't waste your reader's time.

Happy thinkpenguin customer here. In the old days I researched hardware for GNU/Linux compat; now I just buy a system from them and everything just works.

> I honestly don't get why Markdown became preferred in most projects over AsciiDoc.

I think the primary reason is because Markdown is prettier to read (and also secondarily because it's good enough).

There are lots of markup formats, but markdown is probably the easiest on the eyes.

Fennel was created prior to Janet, by the same person. :)

Two things:

* Janet doesn't have a built-in set data structure literal. Need to use a library for that.

* Janet has mutable and immutable versions of arrays and hashmaps (the literals for the mutable variety are prefixed with `@`)

I think it's partly due to: people like regular garden-variety arrays and hashmaps, and don't want to use car, cdr, cons. I like my array and hashmap literals.

Looks like the name is "Xournal++", but the github repo name is "xournalpp".

The "pen display" is the type where it's a monitor with the transparent trackpad overlaid on it. That, I think, is what you want. I tried the other type, where you write on the tablet but you look at the screen elsewhere, and it was not fun.

The Wacom One is a fine choice (its their smallest and least expensive model). Maybe artists would need a larger one, but the Wacom One is, IMO, large enough to take notes on.

Haven't tried an iPad, but that Wacom is a really excellent writing/drawing experience.

How are your math skills? Do you know any calculus? Are you interested in learning more math to go with the physics?

Janet is small, simple, efficient, and practical. For me it has nice syntax and sensible semantics. Great little package manager too. Very happy with and excited about Janet so far.

Pandoc lets you write in Markdown but also include mathematics in LaTeX. For me this is a nice combination.
