Hi, thanks for sharing. There are quite different tools; afaiu, the one you shared does not have any means of cross referencing other data. Also I could see only basic knobs to control the data generation -- ints b/w max/min, weighted distribution from a set of possible options etc.

datagen on the other hand allows you to access the data of any model, any field, any row to create new data; much like a DAG. This is a very powerful abstraction.

Of course, not having to write "code" in json is great too!

Having never used anything beyond Linux, Windows and Mac, what would be a good starting point? Can I expect gnu/coreutils to work as is (ls, cd, pwd, et al.). Can I expect to not get bitten by arbitrary issues? What if one of the emacs packages that I am accustomed to using doesn't work there due to a dependency on something that is Linux only? How likely/possible is that?
