Asciidoctor vs Octave: What are the differences?

Developers describe Asciidoctor as "An open source, pure Ruby processor for converting AsciiDoc documents or strings into HTML and other formats". It is a fast, open source text processor and publishing toolchain for converting AsciiDoc content to HTML5, DocBook, PDF, and other formats. Asciidoctor is written in Ruby and runs on all major operating systems . On the other hand, Octave is detailed as "A programming language for scientific computing". It is software featuring a high-level programming language, primarily intended for numerical computations. Octave helps in solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing other numerical experiments using a language that is mostly compatible with MATLAB.

Asciidoctor and Octave are primarily classified as "Text Processors" and "Languages" tools respectively.

Some of the features offered by Asciidoctor are:

  • Lightweight markup language for authoring notes
  • Articles
  • Documentation

On the other hand, Octave provides the following key features:

  • Quality Control
  • Design
  • Data Visualization

Octave is an open source tool with 90 GitHub stars and 32 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Octave's open source repository on GitHub.

    Sphinx
    It lets you either batch index and search data stored in an SQL database, NoSQL storage, or just files quickly and easily — or index and search data on the fly, working with it pretty much as with a database server.
    Markdown
    Markdown is two things: (1) a plain text formatting syntax; and (2) a software tool, written in Perl, that converts the plain text formatting to HTML.
    Pandoc
    It is a free and open-source document converter, widely used as a writing tool and as a basis for publishing workflows. It converts files from one markup format into another. It can convert documents in (several dialects of) Markdown, reStructuredText, textile, HTML, DocBook, LaTeX, MediaWiki markup, TWiki and many more.
    JavaScript
    JavaScript is most known as the scripting language for Web pages, but used in many non-browser environments as well such as node.js or Apache CouchDB. It is a prototype-based, multi-paradigm scripting language that is dynamic,and supports object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.
    Python
    Python is a general purpose programming language created by Guido Van Rossum. Python is most praised for its elegant syntax and readable code, if you are just beginning your programming career python suits you best.
