Hmm, all the files in _site are a bit messy, indeed. I assume that's what could be put into gh-pages and the main branch can be kept clean? Also some other comments below.
| Both R and Python programming languages were created at around the same time: Python was created in 1991 in the Netherlands, and R in 1993. However, R actually has a much longer history, because it is an extension of the S programming language that was created all the way back in 1976 in Bell Labs. R was created specifically as a statistical package, similar to SPSS or Stata. However, it has since evolved into a general-purpose programming language. Due to its focus on statistics, R is mainly used in academia (schools and universities). | ||

| Python was created as a general-purpose programming language. It was designed with readability in mind, and it has become the most popular programming language in the world. Python is therefore widely used in the industry, such as startups and large corporations. Python is especially strong in the field of deep learning, since packages such as Google's TensorFlow are implemented primarily in Python. Additionally, because of it's popularity, it is very easy to find online examples and it is used often to communicate with other software. | ||

| Both the `R` and the `python` interpreters can be run from Bash. Here is an example of code that is correct in both Python and R. You can use this example to execute a script written in either language: | ||
| ```{bash} | ||
| ```{bash, eval=FALSE} |

Why all the eval=FALSE? We do want to test Bash and Python on the VMs and also get the output in the HTML.
