This looks a lot like the Jupyter extension [0], which is made by a Microsoft employee and was last updated before the summer. I really like the cell format of Jupyter (inspired by Matlab I presume), I don't really want to select the code before I run it. Will Microsoft support both extensions? I would like support for actual notebooks as well, for when I want to mix text, code, and figures but without having to work in a browser.

Source: Fernando Perez started IPython, very much inspired by Mathematica (he was switching from Mathematica to Python). Then Alex Clemesha and I created the Sage notebook in 2007, partly inspired by discussions and demos from IPython developers, and also very much inspired by Mathematica (Alex Clemesha, a physics student, was also a heavy Mathematica user). Alex then made knoboo in 2008 https://github.com/knoboo/knoboo https://github.com/knoboo/knoboo), which is another notebook that inspired the Jupyter notebook implementation.

  I was referring to the cell mode, not notebooks. In Matlab you create a new cell by starting a line with two comment characters (%%), in the Jupyter extension you use #%%. You can then run the current cell with ctrl+enter, no need for selecting anything. https://blogs.mathworks.com/community/2008/01/07/ive-got-something-to-cell-you/ https://blogs.mathworks.com/community/2008/01/07/ive-got-som...
