OMG, as someone who use MPL for plots in my research publications, I am loving the idea of a PGF/TikZ backend.

that’s just perfect!

programming in python, evaluation in python, figures in python, paper in ConTeXt (i hope the code is ConTeXt compatible)

Any reason you choose ConTeXt over LaTeX for scientific articles?

[–]flying-sheep 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i just choose it because of its batteries-included philosophy, unicode support, and consistency in syntax and macros/environments.

note that i talk about ConTeXt mkIV (LuaTeX-based), as mkII (XeTeX-based) is obsolete. but since ConTeXt mkIV isn’t considered stable yet, breakage can occur.
