Introduction
Metabolic Modelling
Design Philosophy
Scrumpy is unusual, but not unique, in that the primary user interface is a language (it is an oversimplification to refer to it as a command line interface) rather than a more conventional GUI. The underlying reason for this choice is a simple one: A GUI restricts the user to only those actions which the programmer mpredicted the user might wish to perform. In some contexts this is not a problem, simple text editing and web-browsing being examples.
However, in metabolic modelling (and scietific/research contexts in general) it is much harder for the programmer to predict what a user may wish to do. MORE HERE -
