The concept of Jupiter notebook for python was always kinda wild to me. Great that now there's an option for JS. Looking forward to using it! Great work!

- conradludgate 6y agoJupyter notebooks exist for way more than python. You can run any language kernel for it. Js, rust, go, c etc all have kernels
- faebi 6y agoI even used a ruby kernel once and had a pretty neat data science experience with it.
- mrweasel 6y agoI still don't what a Jupiter notebook, and at this point I'm afraid to ask.
- indigochill 6y agoJupyter is a Python environment built around IPython (Interactive Python). A notebook is a series of "cells" which are snippets of Python code. You execute these cells and see results in another pane much like if you were just noodling around in the console (except there's one unified place where output appears). Where it's seeing a lot of traction is in data science where someone can explore the data with code, save their exploration, and share it with others. The advantage over a standard paper is that when someone opens a notebook, they see all the code and can run and mess with it independently.
