I think Jupyter is inspired by Mathematica (and Macsyma) notebooks, not Matlab... 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.

- sorenjan 8y agoI 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...
