I've been interested in the concept of literate programming for a while now. I've started working on a simple #JuliaLang tool to take code chunks in plaintext files and evaluate them, writing the results back to the file similar to Babel for Org, making good progress so far!

New post on my blog! We return to the topic of optimal control, and using #JuliaLang and JuMP.jl to solve some optimal control problems. JuMP provides an easy and intuitive DSL for defining and solving mathematical optimization problems. Read here: https://michaszj.github.io/starcoffee/posts/optimal-control-jump/
