- chvid 11y agoJupyter looks very good; I haven't seen it before. I know that document editing, wikis, small programming languages are areas with lots of existing work. I don't really view EMU as competitor (if I did I would have given up already). I made it because it there are some fun and challenging problems there (creating a WYSIWYG editor in React, creating a language). Jupyter is as far as I can see a different approach than EMU; and very focused scientific computing. The text format in EMU is basic text with markdown style formatting and then an escape using tuborgs into a JavaScript-like language. The document format is fully visible to the end-user. The language is designed to be executed in final time and have no side-effects. Everything is done client-side. Jupyter has more complex format where entities of various types (text, images, programs in up to 40 different languages) are collected together in a single document (https://nbformat.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html https://nbformat.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html). The programs are executed on a server and results are transferred using a open protocol. It looks an impressive project though.
