Quarto is a fantastic tool for writing reproducible reports using literate programming. Literate programming allows us to incorporate documentation and code in the same program. The data science community has embraced this idea by adopting Rmarkdown and Jupyter Notebooks. Using Quarto efficiently, you can create parametrized reports, write scientific publications, and build data-driven slides.
