"jupyter is the new bash"
As much as I love Jupyter this is a bridge too far even for me. There's nothing about Jupyter that makes sense for non-interactive scripting. Although, I suppose it would help you do block chain calculations... which would also be a terrible idea.
- adw 8y agoInline documentation and charting (which for data tasks is a honking huge deal). It's literate programming with an actual use-case. Very into this idea.
- seanmcdirmid 8y agoNone of that is what people use bash for, however.
- adw 8y agoYou'd be surprised. It's certainly not _all_ of what people use bash for, but there are a lot of sketchy ETL (and sampling, and small-scale analytics) jobs out there held together with bash and awk and hopes and dreams, and replacing those with something like this is a substantial win.
- akhilcacharya 8y agoI don't think the full talk for that is out yet but I think it could be brilliant. Literate bash scripts with built in metrics reporting that you can just pull out if necessary? Documentation and selective re-run? Sign me up!
