The next generation of Jupyter, JupyterLab is turning into a whole IDE/platform, not just a notebook. They are also trying to incorporate the monaco editor which drives VS Code. Wouldn't that be a better solution?

- xrd 8y agoI spent time reading through Joel Grus' "I hate notebooks" slide deck and he makes a really compelling why they (Jupyter notebooks) are not the right tool for many reasons. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1n2RlMdmv1p25Xy5thJUhkKGvjtV-dkAIsUXP-AL4ffI/edit#slide=id.g362da58057_0_1 https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1n2RlMdmv1p25Xy5thJUh... It was eye opening. His YouTube live coding on building a neural net from scratch really shows the power of using VSCode to do AI work and complements his assertions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o64FV-ez6Gw&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o64FV-ez6Gw&feature=youtu.be Both are well worth the time. All the reading I've been doing on ML/AI really came together after watching and taking notes in that YouTube video.
- deshpand 8y agoYou have to give credit to JupyterCon for inviting him! Most of his issues relate to Jupyter, he has/had not seen JupyterLab. You can trust that many of these issues will get worked out in the long run. I have nothing against VS Code but Jupyter(Lab) didn't win the ACM Software System award (Nobel price for software) for nothing.
