Integration with Weave.jl

[ChrisRackauckas]

@mpastell 's Weave.jl is a great framework for literate programming in Julia. I think both Juno and Weave can be made even better by pairing up together, kind of like RMarkdown/KnitR. If creating a Weave file was easy and it could evaluate to some rendered pane (instead of a separate browser window) as a preview, and then buttons from Juno could save it out as a PDF, it could be a really nice system for generating papers from Julia projects.

I agree that this is a good idea. I have written https://atom.io/packages/language-weave which does syntax highlighting for Weave documents and supports running code using ctrl-enter.

I suggest that current cell evaluation/navigation shortcuts could be also used to evaluate/navigate the document code blocks.

Yeah, that's a good idea. I do think we should create a separate atom package for the more sophisticated features (live preview comes to mind, but toolbar buttons for weave and maybe tangle as well) that integrates with Juno.

Yeah, that would be the right idea. Juno is meant to be built on and this would make a good test case.

I should check out Weave in more detail and see what we can do, but in general if folks want to try this out and we can help with Juno integration, let us know.
