Jupyter could be viewed as a modern reminiscence of Lisp Machine UI, without the elegance of homoiconicity, of course.
Python is a good "glue" for optimized C++ or fortran libraries which the core of things like tensorflow or numpy. Everything fits together nicely.
- lispm 8y ago> Jupyter could be viewed as a modern reminiscence of Lisp Machine UI maybe some part of it, but the Lisp Machine UI has a full window system, many different applications based on it with different UIs (font editor, file system browser, process overview, chat program, terminal, Zmacs editor, debugger, documentation browser, documentation editor, drawing program, ...)
