The success of Github in creating software, and the success of software in advancing scientific progress.

Maybe something like nbdev.fast.ai.

In any case, it was just a thought, and likely not an original one. I would welcome it if someone tried to build this and proved it can’t be done.

Thank you for the stimulating discussion!



Yes the characteristics of Github are understood.

What is the actual line of argument that demonstrates this success/usefulness/etc... can be reproduced in your envisioned system?

It's impossible to prove a negative, so this doesn't make sense. Did you mistype?
